The VPS hosting packages that we offer are suitable for various purposes, based on what you want to install and run on them and the experience that you have. If your hosting server is provided with the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access and will be able to take care of your Internet content using a graphical interface, while you may still install server-side apps that may be required by your sites and even by offline apps, for example VoIP programs, media encoding software, various frameworks, etc. Devoid of Control Panel, you will also have full root-level access, but you will have to do everything using a console.

With the last Control Panel option that you are able to pick on the order page - Hepsia, the root access is limited.
