Root Access vs. No Root Access

I love to have root access! Why? To close SSH login : P

And some plugins are great to add.

And of course you don't have to wait to go in and check issues. Although good managed servers should have 24/7 support... it's very costly. You don't need to fix things very often on a server. The time spent vs extra $$$ (monthly!!) spent for managed, don't find it worth it.
 
Hello,

It is better to have full access because it will give you the power to do what ever you want, but ofcourse you have to know what you're doing because you can mess up the entire system.

In most cases for management, it's better to use the cpanel or any GUI so you wouldn't need to login as root.


Thanks!
 
Go with the root access. If you aren't familiar or you are intimidated the ask some pros for help on forums. You can learn the basics tasks quickly and the more advanced tasks may take some more time to master but it is manageable.
 
And also you can use sudo instead of root for security reasons, sudo is flexible to extent that it can help you in not messing up your system.

This is also helpful if you don't want to give your root access to anyone but giving them the right permissions to do there job.
