Having full root-level access means that you will be able to access and modify every file on a specific server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by certain scripts and even offline applications to function efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your server. The root-level access feature will provide you with full control over your server from almost any location, as long as you know 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 whatever the plan that you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, many system settings can be controlled through an easy to use web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll need to do everything via a console, unless you decide to set up a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you'll have full control over the VPS in addition to any kind of system or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this kind of website hosting perfect for any application which you can't run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and so on. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, however the root access to your server will be limited.
Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers
When you choose the cPanel or the DirectAdmin web hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you'll pick throughout the registration process. The exact same is valid when you choose not to use a Control Panel at all. All of our servers will provide you with the option to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a standard shared website hosting account and apps that have certain requirements as to what the software environment on your website hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be set up on it. The difference between the abovementioned solutions is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only via a console, whereas if you acquire cPanel or DirectAdmin, most of the system settings and your web content can be controlled through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, that is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with limited root access.
