Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most risk-free Operating Systems available, as security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will receive 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS

You are able to pick the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you can 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 set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without Control Panel or with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you're able to use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, but you'll be able to manage your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have much time to manage your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have a lot of experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will handle the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

You will be able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with a single click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. Choosing a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to manage everything using a console. A server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software which you may need for your websites. Although with the latter option the root access is limited, you're able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this kind of web hosting service. If you buy our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the most current and most secure release.
