When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you can both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with 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 use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting feature different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. If you buy a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you'll manage everything from a console, unless you set up a third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also include full root access, but most of the things which are linked to your online content can be done using a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to install various frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you get the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we supply includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by an ordinary shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and modify its settings and the content that you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, as well as most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can install some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at registration. When you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you will still be able to do many different things using a Secure Shell console.
