When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application no matter what the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by some script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

The Linux VPS hosting that we provide are suitable for many different purposes, depending on what you want to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. When the hosting server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your Internet content via a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side apps which may be needed for your Internet sites and even by offline apps, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to control. In this way, you can select the virtual server package which you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will pick throughout the registration process. The exact same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on your web hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings and your website content will be managed via a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
