Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and change any file on a particular server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps 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 abovementioned things. The root user can also create various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your website hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control of your server from almost any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you order a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no web hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to modify each part of the system using a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, yet you will also have a graphical interface at your disposal to control your world wide web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice in case you would like to run any software which you cannot install in a standard shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by using SSH and to take care of the content on your server, but the root access rights are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you select during the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans perfect for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is that with cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of many different server-side options as well as any web content which you create or upload, whereas when you order the server with no Control Panel, you will have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the OS that you've chosen during the registration process. With the last Control Panel option that you'll be able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
