Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and customize any kind of file on a selected server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. The root user can also make other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on the hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control of your server from any location, provided that you know the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting
The Linux VPS hosting that we offer are suitable for a variety of purposes, depending on what you would like to install and run on them and what experience you have. When the server features the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to control your Internet content through a graphical interface, while you may still set up server-side apps that may be needed for your Internet sites and even by offline applications, including VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our in-house made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access limitations, but this configuration is the most convenient to manage. This way, you'll be able to choose the virtual server package which you really need.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we supply comes with full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you would like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software setting that cannot be fulfilled by a regular shared hosting plan, our servers will be the best solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you are able to access the server and update its settings and the content that you upload using a console, while with cPanel you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and also most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always install a third-party software tool manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you've chosen at registration. When you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have restricted root access, but you can still do a number of things using a Secure Shell console.
