Having root-level access to your server means that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, including important system files. You may also set up software which can update certain settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You can also create additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You are able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package that you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed through an easy to work with web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will need to make everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you can't do with a shared web hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You can order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control of your server. The considerable amount of system resources which you will get makes our dedicated plans an excellent choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to take care of, still the root access to such a server will be limited.
