If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things as well as to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server comes with no hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to modify any part of the system through a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you can still use SSH to connect and to make modifications, yet you will also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your world wide web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a very good choice when you wish to run any kind of software which you can't set up in a standard shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect through SSH and to manage the content on your hosting server, but the root access privileges will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated service which we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do using a shared website hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You will be able to order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have full control of your server. The tremendous amount of resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, but the root access to such a server will be limited.
