If you have root-level access to a hosting server, it indicates that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you can set up any server-side app irrespective of the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you will be able to both access and change any kind of file, which includes system files, and modify various settings. You can do this by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to do the aforementioned things and to make other users, which includes users that also have full privileges. This connection can be established with a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For security reasons, it's recommended that you make one more user for your daily work and employ the root user only when you need to customize the server or to set up software that may be needed by some script-driven application that you would like to run.

In the first case, you'll be able to change each part of the system with a Secure Shell console, while in the second, you can still use SSH in order to connect and to make changes, still you'll also have a graphical interface accessible to control your world wide web content and almost all of the system settings. The root access makes our virtual server plans a very good choice when you wish to run any software which you are unable to set up in a regular shared web hosting account. With the last Control Panel option - Hepsia, you'll be able to connect via SSH and to take care of the content on your hosting server, but the root access rights will be more restricted.
