If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side app whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you'll be able to both access and update any file, which includes system files, and modify any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and also to create other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be required by some script-driven application that you'd like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

When you order a virtual private servers from our company, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server includes no website hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel during the order process. In the first case, you'll be able to change each part of the system through a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH to connect and to make adjustments, still you'll also have a graphical interface at your disposal to manage your web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages an excellent choice when you wish to run any kind of software that you can not set up in an ordinary shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by using SSH and to manage the content on the server, however, the root access privileges are more restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

If you pick the cPanel hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you'll select throughout the registration process. Exactly the same is valid if you decide not to use a Control Panel at all. All our servers will give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a regular shared website hosting account and applications that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on your hosting server needs to be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, as no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the abovementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you get cPanel, the majority of system settings as well as your website content can be controlled through a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
