Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and customize any file on a specific server, including all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline applications to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all the aforementioned things. Your root user can also generate other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have one more account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your hosting server. The root-level access attribute will provide you with full control of your server from any location, provided that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Web Hosting

You can take care of your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be controlled through an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll have to do everything using a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system or custom content on it all the time, that makes this type of hosting perfect for any app that you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each dedicated server that we supply provides you with full root-level access, when the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding applications and they have special requirements with regard to the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a regular shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the perfect solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you're able to access the server and customize its settings as well as the content that you upload using a console, whereas with cPanel you'll use a graphical interface to control everything related to your online content, and most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can install a third-party tool manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have chosen at signup. If you choose the Hepsia Control Panel on the order page, you will have limited root access, however you'll still be able to perform a lot of things through a Secure Shell console.
