Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and reply within 20 min to any question. Thus, you will get 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 one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as all of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can select the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server solution that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, so you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either without Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, as you will have full root access and you're able to use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, however you'll be able to manage your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have a lot of experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You will be able to choose the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a click on our order page and according to your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the very best way. Choosing a server without any Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything using a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you may need for your sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is limited, you can control the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this kind of hosting service. If you order our Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to ensure that you have the most recent and most safe release.
