Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and update any file on it, which includes essential system files. You may also set up software that can modify certain settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you can do anything you'd like. You may also make additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done using 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 Servers

The VPS plans that we supply are appropriate for a variety of purposes, based on what you would like to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If your server features the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to manage your Internet content with a graphical interface, while you may still install server-side apps that may be needed by your websites and even by offline apps, such as VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you'll have to do everything using a console. When you choose to use our custom Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, there are certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the simplest to manage. Thus, you will be able to select the virtual server plan which you really need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we provide includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a regular shared hosting package, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and change its settings as well as the content that you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your online content, and also the majority of server-side settings. As expected, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you may always set up a third-party tool manually, as long as it supports the Operating System that you've selected at registration. If you select the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have restricted root access, however you'll still be able to do lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
