Having root-level access to a server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes essential system files. You can also set up software which can change specific settings on your server throughout the, so the installation is possible only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you need. You can also generate additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our VPS web hosting services come with different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to choose the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you purchase a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can control everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, but most of the things that are related to your online content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you order your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will select during the registration process. The same is valid if you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers give you the chance to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server needs to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your website content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
