Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and customize every file on a specific server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to do all of the aforementioned things. The root user may also generate various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have one more account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on your server. The root-level access function will give you full control over your server from any kind of location, as long as you have the user credentials.
Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers
You're able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, a number of system settings can be controlled through an easy to use web-based interface, while in the second, you will have to make everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you'll have full control over the VPS plus any system and custom content on it all of the time, which makes this type of hosting perfect for any application 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 choice is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
Each dedicated server that we provide gives you full root-level access, if the server is ordered without a Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you want to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have special requirements regarding the server software environment that can't be fulfilled by a regular shared hosting plan, our servers are the right solution. With no Control Panel at hand, you will be able to access the server and modify its settings as well as the content which you upload with a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you'll have a graphical interface to take care of everything related to your web content, and most server-side settings. Of course, when you get a dedicated server devoid of Control Panel, you can always set up a third-party software instrument manually, as long as it supports the OS that you have selected at registration. If you pick the Hepsia Control Panel from your order page, you'll have limited root access, yet you will still be able to perform a number of things using a Secure Shell console.
