If you have root-level access to a server, this means that you will have full control of it. In other words, you'll be able set up any server-side application whatever the changes that it'll make to the software environment on the server, and you can both access and update any file, which includes system files, and change any settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do all these things and also to make other users, including users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you create another user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to modify the server or to install software which may be required by a script-driven application that you'd like to run.

If you get a VPS servers from us, you will have full root-level access in three cases - if the server features no web hosting Control Panel at all, or in case you select cPanel or DirectAdmin throughout the order process. In the first case, you can change any part of the system with a Secure Shell console, whereas in the second, you'll still be able to use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, however you will also have a graphical interface at your disposal to manage your online content and the majority of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans an excellent choice in case you would like to run any kind of software that you can't install in an ordinary shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you will be able to connect by way of SSH and to manage the content on the server, but the root access rights are more restricted.

The significant amount of resources that you'll have makes our dedicated packages a fantastic choice for any kind of content that you wish to have.
