Having root-level access to a server means that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You may also install software that can update specific settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you'd like. You may also make additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You can take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan that you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed via an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you'll have to make everything via a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any system and / or custom content on it all the time, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting services which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do using a shared hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You will be able to order the server without website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of your machine. The tremendous amount of resources that you'll get makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, yet the root access to such a server is restricted.
