Having full root-level access signifies that you can access and update any kind of file on a particular server, in addition to all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline applications to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned tasks. Your 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 do some task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute offers you full control over your server from any existing location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You can take care of your new VPS servers at the root level whatever the package which you've chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled via an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to do everything through a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS and any system or custom content on it all the time, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

If you pick the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, you'll have full root access to your new dedicated server, regardless of which of our plans you will choose throughout the signup process. The very same is valid if you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the opportunity to run both really resource-demanding apps that are too heavy for a shared website hosting account and applications which have particular requirements as to what the program environment on the web hosting server should be. The latter is something which can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, whereas if you get cPanel or DirectAdmin, the majority of system settings and your site content will be managed via a graphical interface. If you select Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll receive a server with limited root access.
