Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it is being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most safe Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are part of 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 respond in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will obtain top-notch 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 - over 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server plans that we supply and select this Operating System on the order page. You can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to pick the right one, based on the software which you would like to install on your server once it is set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you will be able to manage the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an application which requires Debian, you will be able to pick the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, as it comes with weekly Operating System updates done by our administrators, among many other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a single click on our order page and according to your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you will install later will work in the optimal way. Using a server without any Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything through a console. A server that is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software that you will need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is limited, you will be able to manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this kind of hosting service. When you get the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week to make sure that you have the most current and most secure release.
