When you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you can both access and change any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things and also to create other users, including users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by some script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

You can take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the package which you have picked, 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, multiple system settings can be controlled from a user-friendly web-based interface, while in the second, you'll have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system and custom content on it all of the time, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

When you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared web hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You can order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over your server. The huge amount of resources which you will get makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, however the root access to such a machine will be limited.
