root access required when installing linux programs on web hosting servers

[Teddy Mills]

When your on a web hosting service(choose any), you do not get the root 
password to the system.
A large majority of linux programs(choose any) require root access when 
installing them. (some do not require root access)

What are some workarounds for this common problem?
