Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change any kind of file on a specific server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the aforementioned things. The root user may also generate various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a different account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute will give you full control over your server from almost any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you get a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server features 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 update any part of the system via a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you can still use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, still you will also have a graphical interface accessible to take care of your web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a very good choice when you would like to run any kind of software which you are unable to install in a regular shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, but the root access privileges will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we offer provides you with full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by an ordinary shared hosting package, our servers are the optimal solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings and the content that you upload with a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can install some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you have selected at signup. When you select the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have limited root access, but you can still do lots of things through a Secure Shell console.
