Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and modify every file on a selected server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to perform any of the aforementioned tasks. The root user may also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a particular task on your website hosting server. The root-level access attribute offers you full control of your server from any kind of location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

If you get a virtual private servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server features no hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change each part of the system using a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make modifications, but you will also have a graphical interface available to control your world wide web content and many of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a very good choice in case you want to run any kind of software that you cannot install in a regular shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by using SSH and to manage the content on the server, yet the root access rights are more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

In case you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our packages you will select during the registration process. The same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the chance to run both really resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your website hosting server has to be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only from a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your site content can be managed via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will get a server with limited root access.
