When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and change any file, including system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do all these things and also to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

The Linux VPS packages which we offer are suitable for different purposes, depending on what you would like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to control your Internet content with a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side applications that may be required by your Internet sites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there will be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. In this way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you get one of the dedicated servers hosting packages that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you cannot do using a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You'll be able to order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control of your machine. The significant amount of resources which you'll have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to maintain, however the root access to such a machine will be limited.
