Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software that can change particular settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be done only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You may also create additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You can 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 Hosting

The VPS hosting which we supply are suitable for a variety of purposes, depending on what you would like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to control your web content through a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side applications that may be needed by your websites and even by offline apps, including VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our in-house built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there will be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. That way, you'll be able to choose the virtual server plan that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

In case you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will choose during the registration process. The exact same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the program environment on your hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
