Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also install software which can update specific settings on your server during the process, so that the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you want. You can also generate other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ 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 be able to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You will be able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan which you've selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything using a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS and any system and / or custom content on it at all times, that makes this type of website hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers that we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control of your server. The huge amount of resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, still the root access to such a server is limited.
