Having root-level access to a server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You may also set up software that can change particular settings on your server throughout the, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you will be able to do anything you want. You may also create other users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you require them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.

Full Root-level Access in VPS Hosting

You're able to manage your new virtual private servers at the root level regardless of the package which you've picked, as long as the server is ordered with either the cPanel or the DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel, or with no Control Panel at all. In the first case, multiple system settings can be managed through an easy to navigate web-based interface, while in the second, you'll need to make everything via a console, until you decide to install a Control Panel yourself. In either case, you will have full control over the VPS plus any system or custom content on it at all times, that makes this type of website hosting perfect for any application that you can't run with a shared web hosting account because of the restricted level of access - frameworks, VoIP and audio/video streaming software, etc. The final VPS Control Panel alternative is Hepsia, however the root access to your server is limited.
