Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and update any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also install software which can modify particular settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you want. You may also make additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our VPS hosting feature different levels of access, in order to give you the option to select the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you acquire a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll take care of everything from a console, unless you install a third-party software instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, however most of the things that are linked to your web content can be performed using a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to install various frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll pick throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the chance to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your server needs to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your website content will be managed via a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
