Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, including essential system files. You can also install software which can update particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You may also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you buy a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server includes no website hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change any part of the system from a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you can still use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, yet you will also have a graphical interface available to control your world wide web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice if you want to run any kind of software that you cannot set up in a regular shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect through SSH and to manage the content on the hosting server, however, the root access rights will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers which we supply, 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 modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You'll be able to order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything from 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 control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over the machine. The tremendous amount of system resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated packages 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.
