Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change any kind of file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned things. Your root user may also create various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the hosting server. The root-level access feature gives you full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The VPS plans which we supply are appropriate for different purposes, based on what you wish to set up and run on them and what experience you have. If the server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your Internet content via a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps that may be required by your websites and even by offline apps, including VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. Thus, you can choose the virtual server plan which you need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you pick throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these 3 cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared website hosting account. The main difference between these options is that when you choose cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control a variety of server-side options as well as any web content which you generate or upload, while when you order the server without a Control Panel, you will have to perform everything with a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your liking, if it is compatible with the OS that you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the final Control Panel option that you'll be able to pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
