Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also install software which can update certain settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you will be able to perform anything you'd like. You may also generate additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you get a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no website hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to update any part of the system via a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, but you'll also have a graphical interface accessible to take care of your web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice when you wish to run any software that you can not install in a standard shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by way of SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, yet the root access privileges are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared website hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You will be able to order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything from 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 manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have full control of the server. The huge amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated plans an excellent choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to maintain, yet the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
