Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and update each file on a specific server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by certain scripts and even offline applications in order to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned tasks. The root user can also create various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your hosting server. The root-level access function will give you full control of your server from any kind of location, as long as you know 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 whatever the package that you've picked, 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, a lot of system settings can be controlled via an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to do everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS plus any kind of system and custom content on it at all times, that makes this kind of web hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You'll have full root-level access to your dedicated server regardless of what package you pick throughout the registration process, as long as the server is ordered with cPanel or DirectAdmin, or without hosting Control Panel at all. In all of these 3 cases, you're able to modify any part of the software environment in any way you find fit, that makes our server plans perfect for resource-demanding applications with specific requirements that can't be covered if you use a shared website hosting account. The difference between these options is the fact that when you use cPanel or DirectAdmin, you'll have a web-based graphical interface to take care of a variety of server-side options and any web content that you create or upload, whereas when you order the server without a Control Panel, you will have to perform everything using a Secure Shell console or to install a Control Panel of your own liking, provided that it's compatible with the Operating System which you have chosen during the sign up process. With the final Control Panel option which you're able to choose on the order page - Hepsia, the root access will be limited.
