Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and change any file on a specific 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 to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to do all the abovementioned things. The root user may also make other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have one more account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform some task on the website hosting server. The root-level access feature offers you full control over your server from almost any location, as long as you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You're able to control your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan that you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, many system settings can be managed through an easy to work with web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to make everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS and any system or custom content on it all the time, that makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any application that you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The final VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

You will have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you choose during the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In each of these three cases, you'll be able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you see fit, that makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you choose cPanel you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage numerous server-side options and any site content which you create or upload, while when you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, if it is compatible with the Operating System that you have selected during the sign up process. With the last Control Panel option that you are able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
