Having full root-level access means that you can access and customize each file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to function effectively. 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 make other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access function gives you full control over your server from any kind of location, provided that you know the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting
When you order a virtual private servers from us, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server has no website hosting Control Panel at all, or in case 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, whereas in the second, you can still use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, yet you will also have a graphical interface at your disposal to control your web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice in case you want to run any software that you cannot install in an ordinary shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by way of SSH and to take care of the content on your hosting server, yet the root access privileges are more limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will pick throughout the signup process. The exact same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the option to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a regular shared hosting account and apps which have specific requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server has to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your site content will be controlled via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
