Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and change any file on it, including essential system files. You may also install software that can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so the installation can be done only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you'd like. You may also make other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you need them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks that can be done via other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You can control your new virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan which you have chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or devoid of Control Panel at all. In the first case, a lot of system settings can be managed from an intuitive web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to do everything using a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS plus any system and / or custom content on it all of the time, that makes this kind of hosting perfect for any application which you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the limited level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The last VPS Control Panel option is Hepsia, but the root access to your server is limited.
