If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control of it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side app no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you are able to both access and customize any file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you create a different user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven application that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You will be able to manage your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan that you've selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will have to make everything through a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system and custom content on it at all times, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any application which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You'll be able to order the server without hosting Control Panel and do everything with a console, unless you install some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over the machine. The considerable amount of system resources which you'll receive makes our dedicated plans the best choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to control, but the root access to such a server will be restricted.
