If you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you'll be able to both access and update any file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and also to create 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 is recommended that you create one more user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven app that you wish to run.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting
The VPS hosting services that we supply are suitable for various different purposes, depending on what you'd like to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your web content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps which may be needed by your Internet sites and even by offline applications, like VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. In this way, you can pick the virtual server plan that you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will select throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your web hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your site content will be controlled via a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll get a server with restricted root access.
