Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and change every file on a particular server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline applications to function efficiently. 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 other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have a different account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on the server. The root-level access attribute will provide you with full control of your server from almost any location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You're able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the package that you've selected, 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 controlled through an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will need to make everything using a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system and / or custom content on it at all times, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we offer includes full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements with regard to the server software setting which cannot be fulfilled by a conventional shared web hosting plan, our servers are the optimal solution. Without Control Panel at hand, you can access the server and modify its settings and the content that you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, as well as most server-side settings. Needless to say, when you get a dedicated server with no Control Panel, you can install some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have chosen at registration. If you pick the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you'll have limited root access, however you will still be able to do a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
