Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and customize every file on a specific server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to do all the abovementioned tasks. The root user may also create various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on your server. The root-level access attribute will give you full control of your server from any existing location, as long as you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
When you acquire a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to update any part of the system with a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH to connect and to make changes, still you will also have a graphical interface available to take care of your web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a very good choice if you need to run any software which you can't install in an ordinary shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect via SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, yet the root access rights will be more limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you cannot do using a shared hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You'll be able to order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over the server. The huge amount of system resources which you will have makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to take care of, still the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
