Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and modify any file on a selected server, including all the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline applications in order to work efficiently. A server is accessed at the root level through a root user, who has full privileges to do all of the abovementioned things. Your root user can also make other users. For security reasons, you're advised to have one more account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on the hosting server. The root-level access feature will provide you with full control of your server from any existing location, given that you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You will be able to control your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package that you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, many system settings can be managed via an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you will need to make everything using a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS as well as any kind of system or custom content on it at all times, which makes this kind of web hosting perfect for any app that you can't 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 alternative is Hepsia, yet the root access to your server will be limited.

Full Root-level Access in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we offer includes full root-level access, if the server is ordered with no Control Panel, or with cPanel or DirectAdmin. If you wish to install and run heavy, resource-demanding apps and they have specific requirements regarding the server software setting that cannot be fulfilled by a standard shared website hosting plan, our servers will be the right solution. Without any Control Panel at hand, you'll be able to access the server and customize its settings as well as the content which you upload through a console, while with cPanel and DirectAdmin, you will use a graphical interface to manage everything related to your online content, as well as the majority of server-side settings. Needless to say, when you get a dedicated server without a Control Panel, you can always set up some third-party instrument manually, as long as it is compatible with the OS that you have selected at signup. When you pick the Hepsia Control Panel from the order page, you will have restricted root access, yet you will still be able to do quite a lot of things using a Secure Shell console.
