Full Root-level Access
Learn about precisely what ‘full root-level access’ implies, what benefits it will give you and how to use them to customize your server.
Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify every file on a selected server, which includes all of the system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps to function effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the aforementioned tasks. The root user may also make other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have one more account for day-to-day tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a particular task on the server. The root-level access function will give you full control of your server from any kind of location, as long as you have the user credentials.
