Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also install software which can change certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you need. You can also generate other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS
The VPS that we provide are appropriate for various purposes, based on what you'd like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. When the server is ordered with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your world-wide web content through a graphical interface, while you can still set up server-side apps that may be required by your websites and even by offline applications, including VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will need to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. Thus, you will be able to choose the virtual server plan that you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we supply features full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software environment which cannot be fulfilled by an ordinary shared hosting plan, our servers will be the most suitable solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and update its settings and the content that you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can always install a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you've selected at signup. When you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have limited root access, yet you can still perform a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
