Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also set up software that can change particular settings on the server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via 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 Web Hosting
The VPS web hosting which we supply are suitable for various different purposes, depending on what you intend to install and run on them and what experience you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your web content via a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side applications that may be needed for your Internet sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. In this way, you can choose the virtual server plan that you need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you are able to change any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans ideal for multi-media apps with specific requirements that can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options and also any web content that you create or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you have selected throughout the registration process. With the final Control Panel option which you're able to pick on the order page - Hepsia, the root access is restricted.
