When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you will be able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

The VPS web hosting services that we offer are appropriate for many different purposes, depending on what you wish to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If the server features the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to manage your web content using a graphical interface, while you can still install server-side applications which may be needed by your sites and even by offline applications, for instance VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. Thus, you will be able to choose the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you choose the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll select throughout the registration process. Exactly the same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned alternatives is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you obtain cPanel, the majority of system settings along with your web content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
