When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you will have full control of it. That is to say, you can install any server-side application regardless of the changes that it'll make to the software environment on your server, and you are able to both access and modify any kind of file, including system files, and change any settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user that has full privileges to do the aforementioned things as well as to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it is recommended that you create a different user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to install software that may be required by a script-driven application that you would like to run.

The root access makes our virtual server packages a great choice in case you would like to run any software that you can not set up in an ordinary shared hosting account.
