Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also set up software which can change certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you're logged 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 do anything you want. You may also make various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can control your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will need to make everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of website hosting perfect for any app which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you cannot do using a shared hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you'll have full control of the machine. The tremendous amount of resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, still the root access to such a server will be limited.
