Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software that can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done 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'll be able to do anything you would like. You may also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You'll be able to control your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed from an easy to work with web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to do everything via a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system or custom content on it at all times, that makes this kind of web hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared web hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server with no web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have full control over the machine. The considerable amount of resources which you will have makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any type of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to maintain, but the root access to such a server is limited.
