The majority of web hosting vendors grant root access, in other words you can activate any software on the dedicated web hosting server and update any settings. Certain script-based software platforms need server-side apps that should be pre-activated in order for them to operate. Various e-commerce software scripts, for instance, include such a requirement, and getting complete root access to the dedicated web hosting server is decisive for kicking off an online store. Other web hosting suppliers do not grant root access, but help the customer activate the needed software applications - this is the so-called managed hosting service, as distinguished from the unmanaged hosting solution, which offers root-level access.
