Having root-level access to your server means that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You can also install software that can update particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You can also make other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting services include different degrees of access, in order to give you the option to pick the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you obtain a VPS without Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you'll manage everything using a console, unless you install some third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, but most of the things that are linked to your web content can be performed through a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. When you obtain your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If 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 plans you will choose throughout the registration process. Exactly the same is valid when you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers provide you with the chance to run both really resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and apps which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your hosting server has to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings and your site content will be controlled through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
