Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting
Our VPS hosting include different degrees of access, so as to give you the option to choose the one you need, according to your level of experience and on what you will need the server for. When you obtain a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can take care of everything through a console, unless you install some third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the DirectAdmin or the cPanel web hosting Control Panel also include full root access, however most of the things which are related to your web content can be performed via a graphical interface and not a console. You can set up many different frameworks or media streaming software, for example, without a problem. If you obtain your virtual hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you can still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each dedicated server that we supply gives you full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared website hosting package, our servers will be the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content that you upload with a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, and also most server-side settings. Needless to say, if you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can always install a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at registration. If you select the Hepsia Control Panel on your order page, you'll have limited root access, however you can still do lots of things through a Secure Shell console.
