Debian is an OS 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 will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most secure Operating Systems to be found, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers work 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 e-mail lists and reply within twenty minutes to any question. Thus, you will 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 among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely 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 have to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server package that we supply. 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 select 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 set up either without Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you're 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 control your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have substantial experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You're able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a mouse click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the optimal way. Using a server with no Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you'll need for your sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you'll be able to manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this kind of hosting service. If you buy the Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS weekly to make sure that you have the most current and most secure edition.
