Learn about precisely what ‘full root-level access’ means, what benefits you will have and ways to make use of them to enhance your server.
When you have root-level access to a hosting server, this means that you'll have full control over it. That is to say, you'll be able set up any server-side app whatever the changes that it will make to the software setting on your server, and you're able to both access and customize any kind of file, including system files, and modify various settings. This can be done by connecting to the server as a root user who has full privileges to perform the aforementioned things and to create other users, which includes users who also have full privileges. This particular can be established through a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console. For safety reasons, it's recommended that you make a separate user for your everyday work and use the root user only when you have to customize the server or to set up software that may be required by a script-driven application that you wish to run.
