Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also set up software that can change certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to perform anything you would like. You may also create additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

If you obtain a virtual private servers from us, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server includes no website hosting Control Panel at all, or when 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 will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make modifications, yet you will also have a graphical interface at your disposal to manage your web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice when you want to run any software that you can't install in an ordinary shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by way of SSH and to manage the content on your server, but the root access rights are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements about the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared web hosting plan, our servers are the right solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and update its settings and the content that you upload using a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and the majority of server-side settings. As expected, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install a third-party instrument manually, as long as it supports the OS that you've chosen at registration. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have limited root access, yet you will still be able to perform a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
