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

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS service include different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. If you buy a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will take care of everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel 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're able to set up different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you obtain your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we offer gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by an ordinary shared hosting plan, our servers will be the right solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and customize its settings and the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your web content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install a third-party instrument manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you have selected at signup. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you'll have limited root access, yet you'll still be able to perform a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
