Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify each file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps in order to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. The root user may also generate various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a different account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on the hosting server. The root-level access function offers you full control over your server from any existing location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS plans which we offer are appropriate for various different purposes, based on what you wish to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If the server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your Internet content through a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side applications which may be required by your websites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there will be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. This way, you will be able to select the virtual server package which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

In case you select 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'll choose during the signup process. The same is valid when you choose not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on your server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings and your web content can be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
