Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on personal computers, it's 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 secure Operating Systems nowadays, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are employed by 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 kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy top-level 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 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 as well as all of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server solutions that we supply and select this Operating System on the registration page. You can pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to pick the right one, based on the software that you wish to install on your server once it's up and running. When you're more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you'll have full root access and you'll be able to control the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, but you'd like to use software which requires Debian, you'll be able to choose our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, since it comes with weekly Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You are able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with just a single click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will perform in the right way. Choosing a server with no Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you can manage everything through a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you may need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you can control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this kind of website hosting service. When you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the most current and most safe version.
