When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you will be able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and also to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

The VPS hosting that we provide are suitable for different purposes, based on what you'd like to set up and run on them and what experience you have. If the server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your online content with a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side applications which may be needed by your sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. This way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what plan you pick during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you'll be able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server packages perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control numerous server-side options and also any site content that you generate or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will have to do everything using a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option which you'll be able to pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
