If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software environment on the server, and you will be able to both access and customize 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 do all these things and to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be required by a script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You're able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the package which you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be controlled through an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will need to do everything using a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system and custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any application that you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you get one of the dedicated servers hosting which we supply, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you cannot do with a shared web hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server with no web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over your server. The considerable amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated packages an excellent choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to manage, yet the root access to such a server is limited.
