Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and change any file on it, which includes essential system files. You can also set up software that can modify specific settings on your server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You can also generate additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS
You'll be able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package which you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled from an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to do everything via a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system and custom content on it all the time, that makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any application that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting
If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting that we offer, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You will be able to order the server without any website hosting Control Panel and do everything through a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control over the server. The considerable amount of system resources that you will receive makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to maintain, but the root access to such a server will be restricted.
