Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and update any kind of file on a particular server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be needed by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to do all the aforementioned things. The root user can also make various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have another account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a specific task on the hosting server. The root-level access feature provides you with full control of your server from any existing location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You will be able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed from an easy to work with web-based interface, while in the second, you'll have to make everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS and any kind of system and custom content on it all 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 degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the registration process. The very same is valid if you decide not to add a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the chance to run both very resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and apps that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the hosting server has to be. The latter is something which cannot be achieved on a shared machine, because no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned options is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you obtain cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings as well as your website content will be managed through a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you will get a server with restricted root access.
