Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and customize each file on a particular server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do any of the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also generate various 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 particular task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function offers you full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS plans that we provide are suitable for many different purposes, based on what you'd like to install and run on them and what experience you have. If your server is ordered with the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your web content using a graphical interface, while you may still install server-side applications which may be needed for your sites and even by offline applications, for example VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our tailor-made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there're certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. In this way, you can choose the virtual server package that you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the plan you pick throughout the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you're able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server packages suitable for multi-media apps with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared hosting account. The main difference between these options is that with cPanel you will have a web-based graphical interface to take care of numerous server-side options and also any website content which you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you will have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it is compatible with the OS that you have selected throughout the registration process. With the final Control Panel option that you're able to select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
