Having root-level access to a server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you need. You can also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The VPS servers that we offer are appropriate for different purposes, depending on what you'd like to install and run on them and what experience you have. When your hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to manage your web content using a graphical interface, while you may still set up server-side apps which may be needed by your Internet sites and even by offline applications, for example VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. This way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan that you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will pick throughout the signup process. Exactly the same is valid if you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
