Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and modify each file on a selected server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also make various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature will give you full control of your server from almost any location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The VPS that we provide are suitable for various different purposes, based on what you would like to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to control your web content via a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side apps which may be required by your websites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there will be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. That way, you will be able to choose the virtual server plan that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you select throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you'll be able to change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans perfect for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared web hosting account. The main difference between these options is that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage various server-side options and any site content that you create or upload, whereas if you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it is compatible with the Operating System which you've selected throughout the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you are able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
