Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You may also install software that can update specific settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you want. You can also make various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting
Our Linux VPS web hosting feature different levels of access, to give you the option to choose the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you acquire a VPS devoid of Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you will manage everything using a console, unless you install a third-party software instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also come with full root access, however most of the things which are related to your online content can be done with a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without any problems. If you order the virtual server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access is restricted. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the simplest to manage.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server no matter which plan you choose throughout the signup process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without website hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you are able to update any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server plans ideal for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements which can't be covered if you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is that using cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to control many different server-side options and any website content that you create or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you'll have to perform everything through a Secure Shell console or to set up a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the OS which you have chosen throughout the registration process. With the last Control Panel option which you will be able to select on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
