Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and customize any file on a particular server, which includes all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned things. The root user can also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on the hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control over your server from any existing location, as long as you know the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
The VPS servers that we provide are appropriate for many different purposes, based on what you want to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your world-wide web content using a graphical interface, whereas you can still set up server-side applications which may be needed for your sites and even by offline applications, such as VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, and many others. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to manage. In this way, you will be able to select the virtual server plan which you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will select during the registration process. The exact same is valid when you choose not to install a Control Panel at all. All of our servers give you the option to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared web hosting account and apps that have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the hosting server needs to be. The latter is something which 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, the majority of system settings and your site content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
