Having root-level access to your server means that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also install software that can modify specific settings on your server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you'd like. You may also generate additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually 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 be able to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers feature different degrees of access, in order to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. If you obtain a VPS with no Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can take care of everything using a console, unless you install a third-party software instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things which are linked to your online content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. When you obtain your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You can order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install a third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over the server. The huge amount of resources which you will get makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, yet the root access to such a machine is restricted.
