When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS web hosting service that we provide are appropriate for a variety of purposes, depending on what you intend to set up and run on them and what experience you have. When your hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to manage your web content through a graphical interface, whereas you may still set up server-side applications that may be required by your web sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. That way, you will be able to select the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a standard shared website hosting package, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and customize its settings and the content which you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, as well as most server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always install some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at signup. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have restricted root access, yet you can still do a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
