Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and customize any kind of file on a specific server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software that may be needed by specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned things. Your root user can also create other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on your website hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You will be able to take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package which you have picked, 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 large number of system settings can be managed via an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to make everything via a console, until you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS and any kind of system or custom content on it all the time, which makes this kind of hosting perfect for any app which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you select the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will select throughout the registration process. The same is valid when you decide not to install a Control Panel at all. Our servers will give you the possibility to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a standard shared web hosting account and apps that have specific requirements as to what the software environment on the web hosting server needs to 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 choices is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, while if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings along with your website content will be controlled through a graphical interface. If you pick Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the order page, you will get a server with limited root access.
