If you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side application no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and change any kind of file, which includes system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to make 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 safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a different user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software which may be required by some script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

The Linux VPS web hosting packages which we supply are appropriate for different purposes, based on what you intend to install and run on them and what experience you have. If your server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your world-wide web content through a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side apps which may be needed for your web sites and even by offline apps, like VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to control. This way, you can select the virtual server package that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you choose throughout the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you're able to update any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans perfect for multi-media apps with specific requirements that cannot be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and also any site content that you create or upload, while if you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to do everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you have chosen throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option which you can select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
