Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on personal computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most protected Operating Systems nowadays, because security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll 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 several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you can modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server solutions that we provide and choose this Operating System on the order page. You will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to select the more appropriate one, according to the software that you'd like to install on your server once it's up and running. When you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you will have full root access and you can control the content and the software via SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an application which requires Debian, you're able to select the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, since it includes once a week Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among many other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You are able to pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with only a click on our registration page and according to your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you'll install later will work in the very best way. Selecting a server with no Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything through a console. A server that's ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software that you'll need for your websites. Although with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you can manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of website hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week to ensure that you have the latest and most safe release.
