Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and update any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also set up software which can change specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you can do anything you would like. You may also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS hosting plans come with different degrees of access, to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. If you buy a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can control everything through a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also include full root access, but most of the things that are linked to your web content can be performed through a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to install various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you order your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared web hosting plan, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always set up some third-party instrument manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have selected at signup. If you select the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you'll still be able to perform quite a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
