Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and update any kind of file on a particular server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. Your root user can also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on your website hosting server. The root-level access function gives you full control over your server from any location, given that you know the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS plans come with different levels of access, in order to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you purchase a VPS with no Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will control everything from a console, unless you install some third-party software instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, yet most of the things that are linked to your world-wide web content can be performed with a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you get the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each dedicated server that we supply comes with full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software environment that cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared hosting package, our servers will be the perfect solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, and also the majority of server-side settings. Needless to say, when you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can install some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you've selected at registration. If you choose the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have restricted root access, however you'll still be able to do a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
