Having full root-level access means that you can access and modify every file on a selected server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned things. The root user can also generate other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on the server. The root-level access function will provide you with full control over your server from any existing location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed through an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything using a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system and custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of web hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The final VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we provide includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements about the server software environment which cannot be fulfilled by an ordinary shared website hosting plan, our servers are the best solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and customize its settings as well as the content that you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can set up a third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen at registration. When you pick the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you'll have restricted root access, however you'll still be able to perform a number of things through a Secure Shell console.
