When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

The VPS hosting which we supply are suitable for a variety of purposes, based on what you would like to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If your hosting server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your world-wide web content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps which may be needed by your web sites and even by offline apps, for example VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our custom-made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. That way, you will be able to select the virtual server plan which you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll pick throughout the signup process. The very same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the option to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the program environment on your web hosting server needs to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your web content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with limited root access.
