Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and update any file on a selected server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform any of the aforementioned things. The root user can also create other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your website hosting server. The root-level access feature will give you full control over your server from any existing location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our VPS packages include different levels of access, in order to give you the option to select the one you need, according to 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 can manage everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things which are related to your online content can be performed through a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to set up various frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. When you get your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may 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 Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you pick during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you will be able to change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages perfect for resource-demanding apps with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to control a variety of server-side options as well as any web content which you generate or upload, while when you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to do everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it is compatible with the OS that you have selected throughout the registration process. With the last Control Panel option which you are able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
