Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and update any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software that can modify particular settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine at any time and you can perform anything you would like. You may also generate various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You're able to manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan that you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be controlled from an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will need to do everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any system and custom content on it all the time, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You can order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you install a third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of the machine. The considerable amount of system resources which you'll have makes our dedicated plans an excellent choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, however the root access to such a machine is limited.
