Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most safe Operating Systems to choose from, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced developers are working 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 through 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 depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can get a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you can make sure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the applications which you want to run and that the latter will run correctly. During the order process, you may also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with a user-friendly graphical interface, through that you'll be able to control everything related to your online presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to do everything via a console, however you will have full root access and you can install any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. In addition, you can add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we will test the software environment completely before we hand over the machine so as to ensure that it will perform perfectly. You are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release throughout the signup process, so that the apps which you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your Operating System up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. If you get your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you'll need to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, via which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option if you aren't very experienced, and a specific application which you'd like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, yet the things that you can do will be limited.
