Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software which can update specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also create additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. 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 you can do via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package that you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS as well as any system and custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do using a shared hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control of the machine. The considerable amount of resources which you will receive makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, still the root access to such a machine will be limited.
