When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it will make to the software setting on the server, and you are able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have 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
Our Linux VPS web hosting come with different degrees of access, in order to give you the option to pick the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you need the server for. When you acquire a VPS without Control Panel, you'll have full root-level access and you can control everything from a console, unless you set up a third-party instrument. The servers that are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, but most of the things that are related to your online content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you order your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to take care of.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each dedicated server that we provide gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements regarding the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a regular shared web hosting package, our servers will be the right solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and customize its settings and the content that you upload with a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can always install a third-party software tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at signup. If you select our Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you will still be able to do lots of things through a Secure Shell console.
