If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you can install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you can both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and also to generate other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS servers which we offer are suitable for a variety of purposes, based on what you wish to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your Internet content via a graphical interface, whereas you may still set up server-side applications that may be required by your sites and even by offline apps, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the simplest to control. That way, you'll be able to choose the virtual server plan that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will select throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid when you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the option to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server needs to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings and your website content will be controlled via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with restricted root access.
