If you have root-level access to a server, it means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application no matter what the changes that it will make to the software environment on your server, and you are able to both access and change any file, which includes system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things and to make other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be required by some script-driven application that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The Linux VPS servers which we provide are suitable for various purposes, depending on what you'd like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your world-wide web content with a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side apps that may be required by your sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll need to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. That way, you will be able to choose the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements about the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a regular shared website hosting package, our servers will be the perfect solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and customize its settings as well as 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 online content, and the majority of server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can set up some third-party software instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've selected at registration. If you select the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have restricted root access, yet you can still do a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
