Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, including important system files. You may also install software that can update particular settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be performed only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you would like. You may also make additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers come with different levels of access, in order to give you the option to select the one you need, based on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. If you get a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will take care of everything through a console, unless you install some third-party tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things which are linked to your online content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to install many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. When you obtain the virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to control.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we supply comes with full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting that can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the perfect solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and modify its settings and the content which you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, and the majority of server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can always set up a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the Operating System that you've chosen at registration. If you choose the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have restricted root access, but you can still perform a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
