You can easily have a root login if you have a dedicated server or a virtual private server (abbreviated as VPS). So what exactly is a root login or root access? In simple terms, Root access can be defined as the administrator access to a server. Root login is available for both dedicated servers and virtual private servers (abbreviated as VPS). Root access will help you manage your server in the way you want to, giving you sufficient amount of privileges and required disk space to install and configure any program that you need. Servers with Root access privilege will help you host umpteen sites and install third-party applications without compromising on any of the features that you would require. They will also give you the privilege to maintain your preferences while hosting the site. Hence if you need a root access to your server, it’s highly advisable to choose either a dedicated server or a virtual private server (semi dedicated server). Since dedicated servers are very expensive, you can always choose a VPS. A VPS will give almost all the features of a dedicated server, at a highly affordable price tag. Go online and start checking some of the VPS providers out there! Only a very few companies like Sharktech.net provide VPS packages at affordable rates. They provide full root access to VPSs or semi dedicated servers. Those who don’t have a big budget can always choose VPSs, as they would give almost all the features of dedicated servers, at affordable price tags.
