Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and change any kind of file on a particular server, including all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications to function properly. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to perform all the aforementioned things. Your root user may also make other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your server. The root-level access feature provides you with full control of your server from almost any location, given that you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS
You will be able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the package which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be managed via a user-friendly web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to do everything via a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any system and custom content on it all of the time, that makes this kind of web hosting perfect for any application that you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting
Each dedicated server that we offer provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you would like to set up and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment which can't be fulfilled by a conventional shared web hosting package, our servers will be the best solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and change its settings and the content which you upload using a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, and also most server-side settings. As expected, if you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always install a third-party software tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you've selected at signup. If you choose the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you will have limited root access, however you can still perform quite a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
