Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems in existence, as security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of qualified developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you are able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You're able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server solution that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you are able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, however you are able to manage your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have much time to control your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have substantial experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a single click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the very best way. Picking a server without Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything through a console. A server that is acquired with our Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you may need for your websites. Although with the latter option the root access is restricted, you are able to control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this kind of hosting service. If you buy our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to make sure that you have the most current and most secure version.
