Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also set up software which can change certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are signed 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 will be able to do anything you want. You may also make other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you purchase a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in three cases - if the server includes no website hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to update any part of the system from a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make changes, yet you'll also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a very good choice when you want to run any kind of software that you are unable to set up in an ordinary shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by using SSH and to manage the content on your server, yet the root access rights will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You may order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control of your machine. The significant amount of system resources that you will get makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, yet the root access to such a server is limited.
