Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and modify any file on it, including essential system files. You may also install software which can modify specific settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You may also make various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really 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 to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The Linux VPS that we supply are suitable for various different purposes, depending on what you wish to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If your hosting server is ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your web content via a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps which may be required by your websites and even by offline apps, like VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the simplest to control. Thus, you can choose the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you are unable to do with a shared web hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You can order the server without website hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over your server. The huge amount of resources which you'll have 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 much easier to maintain, however the root access to such a machine is restricted.
