Having root-level access to your server means that you can view and change any file on it, including important system files. You can also install software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you'd like. You can also generate other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, 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 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

The Linux VPS web hosting plans which we supply are appropriate for different purposes, depending on what you intend to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to control your world-wide web content via a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side applications which may be needed by your sites and even by offline apps, including VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to control. In this way, you can pick the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do using a shared hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over your server. The tremendous amount of resources which you will get makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any kind of content that you would like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to manage, however the root access to such a server will be limited.
