Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems available, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of skilled 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 through special e-mail lists and reply within 20 min to any question. In this light, you will receive 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 releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as all of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not have to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS

You'll be able to acquire a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS packages and you'll be able to choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. In this way, you will guarantee that the software environment will match the system requirements of the apps that you wish to run and that the latter will function efficiently. Throughout the order process, you may also select if the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with an easy to navigate graphical interface, via which you're able to control everything related to your world wide web presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, and so on. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll have to make everything through a console, yet you will have full root access and you'll be able to set up any software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will work in the right way. Selecting a server without Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything through a console. A server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software which you will need for your sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you're able to manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this kind of web hosting service. If you get our Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to make sure that you have the most recent and most safe release.
