Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed 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 won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most secure Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of 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 via special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you'll get an outstanding level of 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you're able to modify both the core and all the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You're able to pick the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either with no Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you are able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you're able to control your website content through a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have much time to control your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have substantial experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You can choose the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. Selecting a server devoid of Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you will be able to control everything using a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software that you'll need for your Internet sites. Although with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you are able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. If you order our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week to make sure that you have the most recent and most risk-free release.
