Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and change any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also set up software that can change certain settings on your server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you can perform anything you'd like. You can also make additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, 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 you can do via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
You'll be able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the plan that you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel web hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed through an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to do everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system and / or custom content on it at all times, that makes this kind of hosting perfect for any app which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree 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 restricted.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what plan you pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is provided with cPanel, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these three cases, you can modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, which makes our server packages ideal for multi-media applications with specific requirements that cannot be covered when you use a shared website hosting account. The main difference between these options is that with cPanel you'll have a web-based graphical interface to manage a variety of server-side options and also any web content that you generate or upload, whereas if you order the server without a Control Panel, you will have to do everything through a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it is compatible with the Operating System which you have chosen throughout the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option that you'll be able to choose on our order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
