Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also install software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, 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 will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you need. You can also generate additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that 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

You are able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan which you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be managed through an easy to work with web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to do everything using a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any system or custom content on it at all times, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any application which you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting which we offer, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared web hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have complete control over your server. The considerable amount of system resources that you'll get makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any type of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, still the root access to such a machine is restricted.
