Full Root-level Access

Learn about what precisely ‘full root-level access’ implies, what privileges you'll have and the ways to make use of them to customize your server.

Having root-level access to your server signifies that you'll be able to view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also install software that can change particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you are 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 do anything you'd like. You may also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You may 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 Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. The same is valid when you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the option to run both very resource-demanding apps which are too heavy for a standard shared hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the software environment on the website hosting server needs to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned choices is that without having a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most system settings as well as your web content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you select Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
