If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it means that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side app no matter what the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any kind of file, which includes system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user which has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to generate other users, including users that also have full privileges. The connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it is recommended that you make another user for your daily work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be required by some script-driven application that you wish to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You'll be able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the package which you've selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled via a user-friendly web-based interface, while in the second, you'll have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any system and / or custom content on it at all times, which makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you get one of the Linux dedicated hosting services that we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you are unable to do using a shared website hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and many others. You'll be able to order the server without web 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 web sites and many system settings. In all 3 cases, you will have complete control over the server. The significant amount of system resources which you will have makes our dedicated packages the best choice for any type of content that you would like to have. The servers which are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, still the root access to such a machine is limited.
