Having root-level access to your server means that you can view and change any file on it, including important system files. You may also set up software that can update certain settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you need. You may also generate additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS servers that we supply are suitable for different purposes, based on what you would like to install and run on them and what experience you have. When the hosting server features the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your Internet content using a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side applications which may be needed by your websites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to control. Thus, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared web hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You can order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control over your machine. The considerable amount of resources that you will have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to control, however the root access to such a machine is limited.
