 Hi everyone, I’m at the point where shared hosting is too restrictive — I can’t install custom services, tweak low-level settings, or run background daemons. I’m considering switching to a Linux VPS with full root access. But I’m a bit nervous: what are the real benefits and drawbacks? Do you really need root access, or is managed VPS enough in most cases? If anyone here has experience with a Linux VPS where they had root, how much extra work was it? Was it worth it?
