Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and update any kind of file on a particular server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps to function properly. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to perform any of the aforementioned tasks. Your root user may also generate other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access feature offers you full control of your server from any kind of location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

Our Linux VPS hosting include different levels of access, in order to give you the option to choose the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you get a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can control everything from a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up various frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you obtain the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you choose throughout the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages perfect for multi-media applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The main difference between these options is that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options as well as any web content that you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you've chosen during the registration process. With the third Control Panel option that you can pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
