Our Linux VPS servers come with different degrees of access, to give you the option to choose the one you need, depending on your level of experience and on what you want the server for. When you purchase a VPS without any Control Panel, you will have full root-level access and you can control everything using a console, unless you set up some third-party instrument. The servers which are ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel also feature full root access, however most of the things which are linked to your online content can be done via a graphical interface and not a console. You're able to set up various frameworks or media streaming software, for instance, without any problems. If you obtain your virtual website hosting server with the Hepsia Control Panel, you may still use a Secure Shell console to connect, but the root access is restricted.

When you choose our Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will have limited root access, but you will still be able to perform a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
