Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most safe Operating Systems in existence, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of skilled developers work for 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 mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any question. In this light, you'll enjoy top-notch 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 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 as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can pick the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS 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, which means that you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you are able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, yet you're able to manage your website content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to command your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have a lot of experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will handle the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we'll test the program environment carefully before we hand over your machine so as to make sure that it will perform perfectly. You can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so that the apps which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you order your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you will have to be more experienced, as all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface, via which you can manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option if you aren't very experienced, and a particular app which you would like to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, but the things which you are able to do will be limited.
