Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on personal computers, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. 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 risk-free Operating Systems you can get, as security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll enjoy 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You are able to get a Debian-powered virtual private server with all of our VPS solutions and you'll be able to choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you will make sure that the software environment will meet the system requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will work efficiently. Throughout the order process, you can also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with a user-friendly graphical interface, through which you'll be able to manage everything related to your world wide web presence using only a web browser - files, email addresses, databases, etc. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll have to do everything via a console, yet you will have full root access and you will be able to install any kind of software that may not be supported by Hepsia. You may also add our optional Managed Services package, that includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will be able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will work in the optimal way. With a server without any Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to control everything through a console. A server that is obtained with our Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software which you'll need for your Internet sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you're 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 do not have previous expertise in this kind of website hosting service. When you get our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to make sure that you have the most recent and most secure version.
