Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including crucial system files. You can also set up software that can modify certain settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you would like. You can also create additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
When you buy a VPS servers from our company, you'll have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server has no website hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you can change any part of the system using a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you will still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make modifications, but you'll also have a graphical interface at your disposal to manage your web content and most of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a very good choice when you wish to run any software which you can not set up in a regular shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, however, the root access privileges will be more restricted.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
If you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll pick throughout the registration process. The very same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the opportunity to run both very resource-demanding applications which are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your web hosting server should be. The latter is something that cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, while if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings as well as your web content can be controlled via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will have a server with restricted root access.
