Having root-level access to a server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can modify certain settings on your server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you are logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You can also make other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - everyday 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 you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting
The Linux VPS web hosting packages that we provide are appropriate for various different purposes, based on what you'd like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If the hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your Internet content using a graphical interface, while you can still install server-side applications that may be needed by your websites and even by offline apps, including VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etcetera. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything through a console. If you choose to use our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. Thus, you can pick the virtual server plan which you need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each dedicated server that we supply features full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a standard shared hosting plan, our servers are the right solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and update its settings as well as the content that you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to control everything related to your web content, and the majority of server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you may always install a third-party tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at signup. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you can still perform lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
