title: VPS hosting and root access
body: <p>I've got rather poor knowledge of *nix virtualization capabilities and trying to clarify one thing. If one has root on host machine, does it always mean that he has root on all VMs of that host? If yes, then could there be a bogus setup where this is not true?</p>
  
  <p>I'm asking cause I heard two different answers to that question from two different admins. One said that he has root to everything, another claimed that he don't and he needs my password.</p>
  
  <p>Please share your experience with VPS hosting providers, do they have roots to your environment?

  It's not that I'm afraid to lose the data, just want to have some insights and words to google for ;-)
  Thanks everyone!</p>
