Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also install software which can modify certain 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, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also create additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - day-to-day 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 which can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You're able to control your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan that you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled from an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will need to do everything via a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system or custom content on it all the time, that makes this kind of hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You can order the server with no web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control of your server. The considerable amount of resources which you'll have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to take care of, however the root access to such a server is limited.
