Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also install software which can modify certain settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you want. You can also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You may 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 Web Hosting

If you order a virtual private servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in three cases - if the server features no hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel during the order process. In the first case, you can update each part of the system using a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH to connect and to make changes, yet you'll also have a graphical interface at your disposal to take care of your world wide web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a very good choice when you want to run any kind of software that you can not set up in a standard shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect through SSH and to control the content on your hosting server, but the root access privileges are more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you select throughout the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you are able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans ideal for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered when you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that using cPanel you will have a web-based graphical interface to control a variety of server-side options and any web content that you create or upload, while when you order the server with no Control Panel, you'll have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, if it's compatible with the OS which you've selected throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option that you are able to pick on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
