If you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control over it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application no matter what the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you can both access and change any file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to make other users, including users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make one more user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by a script-driven app that you would like to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You'll be able to control your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the package that you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed via an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to make everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system and / or custom content on it at all times, which makes this kind of hosting perfect for any application that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the Linux dedicated web hosting plans which we provide, you will have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared website hosting account - to modify the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server without web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your websites and many system settings. In all three cases, you will have complete control over the machine. The significant amount of system resources that you will have makes our dedicated plans a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to take care of, however the root access to such a machine will be limited.
