When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you are able to both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software that may be needed by a script-driven application that you'd like to run.
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, depending on your level of experience and on what you'll need the server for. When you buy a VPS with no Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will take care of everything using a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the cPanel hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things which are related to your web content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to install various different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you obtain the virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we offer includes full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements about the server software environment that cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared web hosting plan, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and change its settings and the content which you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, as well as most server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can set up a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have chosen at signup. When you choose the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have limited root access, however you will still be able to perform a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
