VPS with Full Root Access

Root access gives you superuser privileges — the ability to do anything on your server. Install packages from any repository. Compile software from source. Edit configuration files in /etc. Configure the firewall. Manage users, permissions, and processes. Tune kernel parameters via sysctl. Mount filesystems. Set up cron jobs. Everything that the operating system allows, you can do.

This level of control is essential for developers, system administrators, and anyone who needs a server that works exactly how they want it. Shared hosting and managed platforms impose restrictions that limit what you can run and how you can configure your environment. With root access on an AnubizHost VPS, those restrictions disappear.

Some VPS providers technically offer root access but restrict what you can do with it. Certain ports are blocked. Specific software is prohibited. Outbound email is throttled. Kernel modules cannot be loaded. At AnubizHost, root access means root access — no asterisks, no fine print, no surprise restrictions.

Run a web server on any port. Deploy Docker containers or full Kubernetes clusters. Set up mail servers, VPN endpoints, game servers, or any custom application. Load kernel modules for specific network or security configurations. Use iptables, nftables, or any firewall framework. Your VPS is a fully functional Linux server with no artificial limitations.

With great power comes responsibility. Root access means you are in charge of server security. AnubizHost recommends several best practices: disable password-based SSH login in favor of key authentication, configure a firewall to block unnecessary ports, keep your OS and packages updated, and use fail2ban to prevent brute-force attacks.

Our deployment templates implement sensible security defaults. SSH is configured with strong ciphers, root login requires the password displayed in your dashboard, and no unnecessary services are running. We provide security hardening guides in our knowledge base for customers who want additional protection.

For users who prefer managed security, our optional managed service add-on includes server hardening, automatic updates, firewall management, and intrusion detection. You keep root access while our team handles the security baseline — the best of both worlds.

Every VPS plan at AnubizHost includes full root access by default. Plans start at $18/mo for 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 30 GB NVMe SSD. Higher tiers offer up to 8 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, and 400 GB NVMe for workloads that demand more resources. All plans include a dedicated IPv4, DDoS protection, snapshots, and 24/7 support.

Deploy your root access VPS in under two minutes. Choose your plan, select a datacenter in Europe or the US, pick your Linux distribution, and pay. Root credentials are delivered to your dashboard immediately. SSH in and start building — your server is ready for anything.
