If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you can install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you are able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a separate user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you would like to run.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The Linux VPS web hosting service that we provide are appropriate for various different purposes, based on what you intend to set up and run on them and what experience you have. When your hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your Internet content via a graphical interface, whereas you can still install server-side apps that may be needed for your websites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything through a console. When you choose to use our tailor-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there will be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. That way, you can select the virtual server package which you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of the dedicated service which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You will be able to order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control of the server. The tremendous amount of resources which you'll have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to take care of, but the root access to such a server will be limited.
