Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also install software that can modify specific settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You can also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS plans include different levels of access, in order to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you purchase a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will take care of everything through a console, unless you install some third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your online content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you get your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared website hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You'll be able to order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have complete control over your machine. The considerable amount of system resources which you will receive makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to maintain, yet the root access to such a server is restricted.
