Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and change any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also set up software which can update particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be performed only if you're signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine at any time and you will be able to perform anything you'd like. You can also make various other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, based on what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you really 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 in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting
You will be able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled via an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS as well as any system and / or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server will be limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
If you get one of the Linux dedicated servers hosting packages that we offer, you'll have full root-level access and you can do anything that you are unable to do using a shared hosting account - to change the server-side PHP settings, to set up frameworks or media streaming software, and the like. You may order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything through 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 control your Internet sites and many system settings. In all three cases, you'll have full control of the machine. The considerable amount of system resources that you'll have makes our dedicated packages a great choice for any type of content that you'd like to have. The servers that are ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel are simpler to control, but the root access to such a server will be limited.
