Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and change any kind of file on a selected server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned tasks. The root user may also create other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a particular task on your website hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control of your server from any existing location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

When you buy a virtual private servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server features no web hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to update each part of the system through a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, yet you'll also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your web content and the majority of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a very good choice when you need to run any kind of software that you cannot set up in a standard shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect via SSH and to manage the content on the server, yet the root access rights are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our plans you will select during the registration process. The very same is valid when you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications that have specific requirements as to what the program environment on the server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that 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 via a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your website content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
