Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems available, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and reply in twenty minutes to any question. Thus, you'll have 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 - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You are able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can pick 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 tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, however you are able to manage your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have much time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have much experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will perform in the optimal way. With a server with no Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything through a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you'll need for your websites. Though with the latter option the root access is limited, you'll be able to control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous experience with this kind of hosting service. When you get our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the most current and most secure version.
