If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. In other words, you can set up any server-side app whatever the changes that it'll make to the software setting on the server, and you are able to both access and change any kind of file, including system files, and change various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do all these things and to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This particular can be established using a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you make a different user for your everyday work and employ the root user only when you have to modify the server or to set up software which may be needed by a script-driven app that you want to run.

The root access makes our virtual server plans an excellent choice when you wish to run any kind of software that you cannot install in an ordinary shared hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect through SSH and to control the content on the hosting server, however, the root access privileges will be more restricted.

You'll be able to order the server with no hosting Control Panel and do everything from a console, unless you set up a third-party tool, or you can order it with cPanel or DirectAdmin and use a web-based graphical interface to control your sites and many system settings.
