When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform all these things and also to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make one more user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You'll be able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan which you've selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be controlled through an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll need to make everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system and / or custom content on it all the time, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited degree 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 is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting services which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you can do anything that you are unable to do using a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You will be able to order the server without website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have full control of the server. The huge amount of resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated plans a great choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to manage, still the root access to such a server will be restricted.
