Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, including important system files. You can also set up software which can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You may also generate other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting services include different levels of access, in order to give you the option to choose the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you obtain a VPS without Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can take care of everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, but most of the things that are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, 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

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you select throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you'll be able to change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server packages ideal for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you pick cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and also any website content which you create or upload, while if you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the OS that you've selected during the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option that you will be able to choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
