Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems in existence, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of qualified developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply within twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll enjoy top-notch 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you will be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't have to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, so you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you would like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either devoid of Control Panel or with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you're able to use the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, but you'll be able to manage your web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You can choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the optimal way. Choosing a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software that you will need for your web sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you will be able to manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. When you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to make sure that you have the latest and most risk-free release.
