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

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS servers which we provide are suitable for various purposes, depending on what you intend to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your Internet content via a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side apps that may be needed by your websites and even by offline apps, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to control. In this way, you can choose the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you choose the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll pick throughout the registration process. The very same is valid if you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the option to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared web hosting account and applications that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you acquire cPanel, the majority of system settings along with your site content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
