Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and customize each file on a specific server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline apps in order to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to do any of the aforementioned things. The root user may also make various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from any kind of location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server includes no web hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you can modify each part of the system from a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, however you will also have a graphical interface available to take care of your online content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice when you would like to run any software that you can't install in an ordinary shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect through SSH and to manage the content on the hosting server, yet the root access rights will be more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will choose throughout the signup process. The same is valid when you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the server should be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your website content will be managed via a graphical interface. If you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
