When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side app whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on your server, and you can both access and update any kind of file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You'll be able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan that you've selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be controlled via an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS and any system and / or custom content on it at all times, which makes this type of website hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The final VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which package you choose during the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or with no web hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you will be able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which cannot be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of numerous server-side options as well as any web content that you create or upload, while if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System that you have selected during the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option which you'll be able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
