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

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You'll be able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed from an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system or custom content on it at all times, which makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You may order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have full control over your machine. The tremendous amount of system resources that you will receive makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to control, however the root access to such a machine is restricted.
