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 set up any server-side app regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you can both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any 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, which includes users who also have full privileges. The connection 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 which may be needed by some script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

Our Linux VPS services come with different levels of access, to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you get a VPS with no Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you will take care of everything using a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things that are linked to your web content can be performed using a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to set up different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you get your virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we supply comes with full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment which cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared website hosting package, our servers are the right solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and change its settings as well as the content that you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel you will use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, as well as most server-side settings. As expected, when you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you may always set up some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at registration. When you select our Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have restricted root access, however you will still be able to perform a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
