Having full root-level access signifies 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 set up server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned things. The root user can also generate other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from any location, provided that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You're able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan that you've chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, many system settings can be controlled through an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to make everything using a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS as well as any system and custom content on it all the time, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The final VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, but the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting services that we provide, you'll have full root-level access and you will be able to do anything that you are unable to do with a shared hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You may order the server with no website hosting Control Panel and do everything using a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to take care of your websites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over the server. The huge amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to manage, still the root access to such a server will be restricted.
