Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, including important system files. You may also install software which can update specific settings on the server throughout the, 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 can do anything you want. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

If you buy a virtual private servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server includes no web hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change any part of the system via a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you can still use SSH to connect and to make modifications, but you'll also have a graphical interface accessible to control your web content and most of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages an excellent choice when you would like to run any software that you can't set up in a regular shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by using SSH and to manage the content on the hosting server, yet the root access privileges will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you'll select during the signup process. The very same is valid when you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. Our servers will provide you with the option to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the server should be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your web content will be controlled via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with restricted root access.
