Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also install software that can change certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server has no website hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to modify any part of the system through a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you can still use SSH in order to connect and to make modifications, but you'll also have a graphical interface available to control your world wide web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a great choice if you wish to run any kind of software that you cannot install in a regular shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by way of SSH and to take care of the content on the hosting server, yet the root access privileges will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll pick throughout the registration process. The very same is valid if you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a shared hosting account and applications that 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, because 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 via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your web content can be controlled via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will receive a server with restricted root access.
