Full Root-level Access
What does the full root-level access feature imply? What privileges will it bestow you with? How to log into your server as root?
Having full root-level access means that you'll be able to access and update any kind of file on a specific server, including all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software which may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to do all the abovementioned things. The root user may also make various other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have another account for daily tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a task on your server. The root-level access function offers you full control over your server from any existing location, as long as you have the user credentials.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting
You can take care of your new
virtual private servers at the root level whatever the plan that you've chosen, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin website hosting Control Panel, or without any Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed from an intuitive web-based interface, whereas in the second, you will need to do everything using 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 kind of system and / or custom content on it all of the time, which makes this kind of website 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, etc. The last VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is restricted.
