Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change every file on a selected server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned things. Your root user can also create various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function offers you full control of your server from any location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you get a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server includes no website hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change each part of the system using a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, but you'll also have a graphical interface available to control your online content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans an excellent choice if you wish to run any kind of software which you are unable to set up in an ordinary shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to take care of the content on your hosting server, yet the root access privileges will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. The same is valid if you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the chance to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and applications which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server should be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your web content can be managed via a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with limited root access.
