Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and modify every file on a particular server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for specific scripts and even offline apps in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, who has full privileges to do all the abovementioned tasks. Your root user may also make various other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have a different account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function will provide you with full control over your server from any location, given that you know the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Servers

You will be able to take care of your new VPS servers at the root level regardless of the plan that you have picked, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, a large number of system settings can be managed through an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you'll need to make everything through 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 system and / or custom content on it all of the time, that makes this type of web hosting perfect for any app which you cannot run with a shared web hosting account due to the limited degree of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel choice is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Servers

When you choose the cPanel website hosting Control Panel, you will have full root access to your new dedicated server, no matter which of our packages you will select during the signup process. The very same is valid if you decide not to get a Control Panel at all. All of our servers provide you with the possibility to run both very resource-demanding applications that are too heavy for a regular shared web hosting account and apps that have particular requirements as to what the software environment on the hosting server should be. The latter is something that can't be achieved on a shared machine, since no server-side software can be installed on it. The difference between the aforementioned alternatives is that without a Control Panel, server management can be done only through a console, while if you acquire cPanel, the majority of system settings and your web content will be managed through a graphical interface. When you choose Hepsia, which is the last Control Panel option on the registration page, you'll have a server with restricted root access.
