Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software which can update particular settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you want. You can also create other 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 is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done using other accounts. You can 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 Servers

Our VPS servers come with different levels of access, so as to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you acquire a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you'll manage everything using a console, unless you install a third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your online content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you get the 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 control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll select throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid when you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the chance to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and apps which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your web content can be controlled through a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
