What is a Root Server?

A Root Server is a virtual or dedicated server with full administrator access (root privileges). Unlike shared hosting, you have complete control over the operating system, can install any software and customize all configurations yourself. Root Servers are ideal for demanding projects that need more power, security and flexibility than normal web hosting can offer.

Full Root Access

With root privileges, you are the administrator of your server. Install any operating system, any software and configure the server exactly to your requirements. From firewall to kernel – you have full control.

Isolated Environment

Your Root Server runs in a completely isolated virtual machine. Other customers have no access to your resources. KVM virtualization guarantees true hardware isolation and maximum security for your data.

Guaranteed Resources

CPU cores, RAM and storage are dedicated to your server. There is no overselling – the booked resources are always fully available to you. This means constant performance without fluctuations.

Flexibly Scalable

Start small and grow with your project. With us you can adjust CPU, RAM and storage at any time – without reinstallation and without data loss. Perfect for growing projects and seasonal load peaks.
