When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you are able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to create other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server features no web hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to modify any part of the system using a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, but you'll also have a graphical interface available to manage your world wide web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a great choice if you want to run any kind of software that you cannot install in a standard shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by using SSH and to control the content on your server, however, the root access rights will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll select throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and applications which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on the web 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 aforementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your site content will be managed through a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with limited root access.
