Full Root-level Access

What precisely is "Full Rool-level Access"? Does it really offer you complete & full control over a web server?

If you have root-level access to a server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can install any server-side app regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and modify any file, including system files, and change various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things and also to create other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make a different 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 needed by some script-driven app that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

If you buy a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in 3 cases - if the server comes with no web hosting Control Panel at all, or when you select cPanel or DirectAdmin during the order process. In the first case, you will be able to modify each part of the system via a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, still you'll also have a graphical interface you can use to manage your web content and almost all the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server packages a very good choice in case you need to run any software that you cannot set up in a standard shared website hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect by way of SSH and to manage the content on your server, yet the root access privileges will be more limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you get one of the dedicated web hosting plans that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you'll be able to do anything that you can't do using a shared web hosting account - to customize the server-side PHP settings, to install frameworks or media streaming software, etcetera. You will be able to order the server without any web hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you install a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to manage your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have complete control of your machine. The huge amount of system resources that you will have makes our dedicated packages the perfect choice for any kind of content that you want to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are easier to manage, however the root access to such a machine will be restricted.
