Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software which can change specific settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you need. You may also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can control your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you've chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed via an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any system and custom content on it all the time, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we offer, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have full control over your machine. The huge amount of system resources that you'll have makes our dedicated plans the perfect choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to maintain, however the root access to such a server will be restricted.
