Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and customize any file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also create various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your server. The root-level access feature will provide you with full control over your server from any existing location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you buy a VPS servers from us, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no web hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to update any part of the system through a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you will still be able to use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, still you will also have a graphical interface accessible to control your web content and most of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a great choice if you would like to run any kind of software which you can not set up in an ordinary shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect via SSH and to control the content on your server, but the root access rights will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll choose during the registration process. The very same is valid when you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. Our servers give you the option to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and applications which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings along with your website content can be managed via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
