If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you will be able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS servers which we supply are appropriate for various different purposes, depending on what you want to set up and run on them and what experience you have. If the hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your world-wide web content through a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side apps which may be needed by your web sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. That way, you can pick the virtual server package that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated servers which we provide, you'll 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 update the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You'll be able to order the server without any hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control of your server. The tremendous amount of resources that you'll get makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any kind of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to maintain, yet the root access to such a machine is limited.
