If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you'll be able to both access and customize any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform all these things and also to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by some script-driven application that you'd like to run.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
Our VPS web hosting plans feature different degrees of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. When you acquire a VPS without any Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will take care of everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also include full root access, but most of the things that are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You'll be able to set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you get the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do using a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You'll be able to order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have complete control of your machine. The tremendous amount of system resources that you will have makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, still the root access to such a machine will be limited.
