Having root-level access to your server means that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also set up software which can modify particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you can do anything you want. You may also create various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you order a VPS servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no website hosting Control Panel at all, or if you select cPanel during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to change each part of the system with a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you can still use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, still you will also have a graphical interface at your disposal to take care of your web content and most of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans an excellent choice when you want to run any kind of software that you cannot set up in an ordinary shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to take care of the content on the hosting server, yet the root access rights are more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you pick the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. The very same is valid if you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the possibility to run both really resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a shared hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on the server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel, most of the system settings and your site content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
