Root access on your VPS

Root access is the highest level of control on a Linux VPS. As the root user you can install any software, change server settings, manage users and configure the server exactly how you want.

With root access you can:

• Install custom applications and services
• Configure the web server, databases and firewall
• Install a control panel of your choice
• Fine-tune performance and security

You connect as root using SSH with the credentials in your client area. Because root can change anything, it is powerful but should be used carefully; a good practice is to create a separate admin user for day-to-day work and keep root for when you truly need it.

Your VPS details are available at my.dirhamaday.ae. If you would prefer not to manage the server at this level, consider a managed VPS. For guidance, our UAE team is on WhatsApp at +971 58 553 6767.
