Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and change every file on a selected server, including all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned things. The root user may also create other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a different account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature offers you full control over your server from almost any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You are able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package which you've chosen, 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, a lot of system settings can be managed from an easy to work with web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS in addition to any system or custom content on it all of the time, that makes this type of hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we offer features full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting that cannot be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and customize its settings as well as the content that you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, and most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can install some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at registration. When you choose our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have limited root access, but you'll still be able to perform lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
