Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and update every file on a selected server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned tasks. The root user may also generate various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have another account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute offers you full control of your server from any existing location, as long as you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You'll be able to manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to make everything via a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS plus any kind of system or custom content on it all the time, which makes this kind of web hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply comes with full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements about the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting package, our servers are the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and change its settings as well as the content that you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, as well as most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you have selected at registration. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you'll have restricted root access, yet you will still be able to do a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
