If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you will be able to both access and customize any file, which includes system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and also to generate other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is 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 set up software which may be required by a script-driven app that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

The VPS servers which we provide are appropriate for different purposes, depending on what you'd like to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. When your hosting server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your web content through a graphical interface, while you may still install server-side applications that may be needed by your web sites and even by offline apps, including VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the easiest to control. Thus, you'll be able to choose the virtual server plan that you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated servers that we supply, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you are unable to do using a shared hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You'll be able to order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over your machine. The considerable amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, yet the root access to such a server is restricted.
