Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software that can update certain settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be performed only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you'd like. You can also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers feature different levels of access, so as to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you purchase a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can take care of everything from a console, unless you install some third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things which are related to your world-wide web content can be performed with a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. When you order the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be reduced. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements with regard to the server software setting which can't be fulfilled by an ordinary shared hosting package, our servers will be the most suitable solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and change its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, and also most server-side settings. As expected, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can always install some third-party software tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've chosen at registration. If you choose our Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have restricted root access, yet you'll still be able to do quite a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
