Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most protected Operating Systems to be found, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and respond within 20 min to any question. In this light, you'll enjoy an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you can modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You're able to pick the Debian Operating System with each VPS server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either with no Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, as you will have full root access and you can use the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, however you will be able to control your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have a lot of time to command your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will handle the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the right way. Selecting a server without Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to manage everything using a console. A server that is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you'll need for your web sites. Although with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you can control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this type of website hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week in order to make sure that you have the most current and most safe release.
