Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and modify any file on it, including important system files. You can also set up software which can update specific settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you want. You may also make various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that 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 manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
You're able to manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be controlled from an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to make everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS plus any system and / or custom content on it at all times, that makes this type of website hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The final VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do with a shared website hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etc. You may order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over your machine. The significant amount of system resources which you will get makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any kind of content that you wish to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to manage, still the root access to such a machine will be limited.
