When you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you'll be able install any server-side application irrespective of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you're able to both access and update any file, including system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform all these things and to make other users, including users who also have full privileges. The connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create a separate user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to install software that may be needed by some script-driven application that you want to run.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers come with different levels of access, to give you the option to pick the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you buy a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can manage everything from a console, unless you install a third-party software tool. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, yet most of the things which are related to your online content can be performed through a graphical interface and not a console. You are able to install various different frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without a problem. When you get your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, however, the root access will be limited. Yet, the Hepsia-equipped servers are the easiest to control.
