When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established through 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 use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by some script-driven app that you would like to run.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers come with different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. If you obtain a VPS without Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can take care of everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You will be able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you get the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we provide gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a standard shared hosting plan, our servers are the most suitable solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and update its settings and the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, as well as most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install a third-party tool manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you've chosen at registration. If you select the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you'll have limited root access, however you can still perform lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
