Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change each file on a specific server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications in order to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. Your root user may also make various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function will provide you with full control of your server from almost any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our VPS feature different levels of access, to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you acquire a VPS without any Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can manage everything from a console, unless you install a third-party software tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things which are linked to your web content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to install different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. When you order your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you select during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control many different server-side options and any site content that you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it is compatible with the Operating System which you have chosen throughout the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option which you're able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
