Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also install software which can update certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you can perform anything you need. You may also generate various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting packages come with different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you get a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll control everything from a console, unless you install a third-party software instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also include full root access, but most of the things which are related to your web content can be done through a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you order the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll select during the registration process. The exact same is valid when you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the chance to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and applications that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
