Having root-level access to your server means that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You can also install software that can update particular settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to perform anything you want. You may also create additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can take care of your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package that you've chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed through an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to do everything using a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS plus any system and custom content on it at all times, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you'll choose during the signup process. Exactly the same is valid when you choose not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the chance to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and apps which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on your web hosting server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings along with your web content will be controlled through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will receive a server with limited root access.
