When you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you are able to both access and modify any kind of file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security 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 that may be needed by some script-driven application that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you order a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server includes no web hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to modify each part of the system with a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, however you'll also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your online content and most of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages an excellent choice if you want to run any kind of software which you can't set up in a standard shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect through SSH and to control the content on the server, yet the root access rights will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will choose throughout the registration process. The same is valid if you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the hosting server has to be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up 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 obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your website content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
