Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and update any kind of file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to perform all the aforementioned things. The root user may also make other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a different account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on your server. The root-level access function gives you full control over your server from any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

The Linux VPS web hosting which we supply are appropriate for a variety of purposes, based on what you would like to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to control your world-wide web content via a graphical interface, while you can still install server-side apps that may be needed for your Internet sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the simplest to control. That way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you select during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server packages ideal for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you choose cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to manage many different server-side options and any website content which you create or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it is compatible with the Operating System that you have chosen during the registration process. With the last Control Panel option which you can choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
