When you have root-level access to a server, it means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you are able to both access and modify any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create a separate user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to modify the server or to install software which may be required by a script-driven application that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You're able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan that you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed through an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll need to do 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 and / or custom content on it at all times, that makes this kind of web 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 many others. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting that we supply, you will have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to update the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You'll be able to order the server without any hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install some third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your web sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of the server. The tremendous amount of resources that you will have makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are much easier to take care of, still the root access to such a server is restricted.
