Spry VPS Web Hosting Gives 100 Percent Root Access to Customers.

Seattle, Washington, August 16, 2004 – Spry, of www.spry.com, explained the benefits of 100 Percent Root Access for customers. Spry specializes in VPS (Virtual Private Server) Web Hosting.

August 16, 2004 -- Spry, of www.spry.com, today released details of Root Access benefits for customers.

In a statement today, President Cameron Jones and CTO Decker Wong-Godfrey explained that 100 percent Root Access with VPS web hosting gives customers control,capabilities and possibilities. It also gives them the power and flexibility of a dedicated server, but without the high cost. Other products may give you admin capability, but 100 percent root access is in a class by itself.

VPS customers can manage their systems how they want. Root access to a virtual private server removes nearly all restrictions. Advanced systems management and customization can be performed and eliminates access restrictions or "root access required" error messages. Virtually all configuration files are available for you to edit at will, enabling you to customize your web server in a variety of ways.

Root access lets you also modify software source code, add modules or patches, and even upgrade to the latest version whenever you choose. You can install new software, experiment with new features, or help debug beta versions as long as you are prepared to reverse your changes or seek professional support should something go wrong.

On a system level, root access hosting gives you authority to change file and directory ownership, a feature that simplifies user management. This makes it ideal for supporting shell users. You can also create root-level automated tasks, also known as "cron jobs", to customize the self-management functions of your web hosting server. And, if you want to host your own custom services, you need root access to create processes that listen on ports below 1024.

Some of the tasks you can do with 100 percent root access include: manage Apache configuration files, install or remove RPMs (Red Hat software packages), remove unneeded applications, install custom applications, create additional Unix users, change directory permissions, cleanup log files and control the Start and shutdown (kill) processes.

Spry is committed to bringing its customers the latest and best hosting technologies and recently opened a new data center in Seattle to serve their VPS hosting customers.
