When you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you're able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things and also to create other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

The Linux VPS hosting that we offer are appropriate for many different purposes, depending on what you would like to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. When the hosting server features the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your online content through a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side applications which may be required by your sites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to control. This way, you will be able to choose the virtual server plan that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we supply includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements about the server software setting which can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting package, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content which you upload using a console, while with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. Needless to say, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can set up some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you've chosen at signup. If you choose the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have limited root access, however you will still be able to perform a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
