Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and update each file on a particular server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned things. The root user may also create various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on your hosting server. The root-level access feature offers you full control over your server from almost any location, as long as 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 includes no web hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel during the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to change each part of the system via a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, but you'll also have a graphical interface accessible to manage your world wide web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a great choice in case you wish to run any software which you cannot set up in a regular shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by way of SSH and to take care of the content on the server, however, the root access privileges will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you pick the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will choose during the registration process. The same is valid if you choose not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your server needs to be. The latter is something that can't 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 from a console, while if you get cPanel, the majority of system settings as well as your web content will be controlled through a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
