Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also set up software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be done only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you'll be able to perform anything you'd like. You may also generate various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done via 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 Servers

You will be able to manage your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package which you've chosen, 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 large number of system settings can be controlled through an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to make everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any system and / or custom content on it at all times, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any application which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server whatever the package you pick during the signup process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you're able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, which makes our server plans suitable for multi-media applications with specific requirements that cannot be covered if you use a shared web hosting account. The difference between these options is that when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin, you will have a web-based graphical interface to manage a variety of server-side options and any site content which you create or upload, whereas if you order the server devoid of Control Panel, you will have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System that you've chosen during the sign up process. With the third Control Panel option which you are able to select on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be restricted.
