Full Root-level Access
What does the full root-level access option entail? What privileges will it bestow you with? How to sign in to your server as root?
Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and customize every file on a selected server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also create various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control of your server from any existing location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting
The
VPS web hosting packages that we provide are suitable for various purposes, depending on what you want to set up and run on them and the experience that you have. If the hosting server features the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access and will be able to take care of your web content using a graphical interface, whereas you may still install server-side applications which may be required by your Internet sites and even by offline applications, which include VoIP software, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Without any Control Panel, you'll also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console. If you choose to use our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, there'll be certain root access restrictions, but this configuration is the most convenient to control. That way, you'll be able to pick the virtual server plan which you need.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each
dedicated server that we offer features full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you'd like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements about the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a standard shared website hosting package, our servers will be the right solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and update its settings and the content that you upload through a console, whereas with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Of course, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always set up some third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you've chosen at signup. If you pick our Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you will have restricted root access, but you can still do lots of things using a Secure Shell console.
