If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and customize any kind of file, which includes system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by some script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our VPS web hosting come with different levels 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 will need the server for. When you obtain a VPS with no Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll control everything through a console, unless you install some third-party software instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, but most of the things which are linked to your world-wide 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 instance, 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, but the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll pick throughout the registration process. The very same is valid when you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All our servers provide you with the chance to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a shared hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your web hosting server needs to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, since 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 via a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your web content can be controlled through a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with limited root access.
