Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktops, it is being used on more and more 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 among the most secure Operating Systems you can get, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and respond in 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 the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you can modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server solutions that we provide and choose this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to pick the more appropriate one, depending on the software which you want to install on your server once it's set up. In case you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you will have full root access and you're able to manage the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you would like to use software that requires Debian, you are able to pick our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. You can also take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, because it comes with regular Operating System updates performed by our admins, among other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment thoroughly before we hand over your server to ensure that it'll perform properly. You will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the signup process, so the applications that you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your OS up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. If you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you will need to be more experienced, because all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, via which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option in case you aren't very experienced, and a particular application that you would like to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, but the things that you'll be able to do will be limited.
