Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and modify any kind of file on a specific server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. The root user can also create various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have another account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access feature will provide you with full control over your server from almost any location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You're able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the plan that you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, many system settings can be controlled from an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to make everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system and / or custom content on it at all times, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any application that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

When you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will choose throughout the signup process. The same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. All our servers will provide you with the option to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and apps which have certain requirements as to what the program environment on your server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, due to the fact that no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your site content will be controlled via a graphical interface. When you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
