Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also install software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you'd like. You may also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

When you get a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in three cases - if the server features no website hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to update each part of the system from a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make adjustments, however you will also have a graphical interface you can use to take care of your world wide web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice when you wish to run any kind of software that you can't install in a regular shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to control the content on your server, yet the root access privileges will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you pick the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will pick during the registration process. The exact same is valid if you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will give you the possibility to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on the hosting server has to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel, the majority of system settings and your web content can be managed via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
