Having full root-level access means that you can access and update any file on a selected server, in addition to all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to work properly. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned things. Your root user can also generate other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on the hosting server. The root-level access attribute provides you with full control over your server from any existing location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS

You are able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the plan which you have selected, as long as the server is ordered with the cPanel hosting Control Panel, or without Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be controlled via an easy to navigate web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will need to do everything through a console, unless you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. Either way, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any system and custom content on it all the time, which makes this kind of hosting perfect for any application that you cannot run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, and many others. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server is restricted.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Hosting

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