Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most protected Operating Systems nowadays, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of qualified 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 via special mailing lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you will obtain 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 costs nothing to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You will be able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you're able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, however you're able to manage your website content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have much time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have much experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you will be able to select all of them with just a single click for your brand new server, based on what software environment the applications that you plan to use require for optimal performance. You can also choose whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but would like to manage it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who want to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server at all. We will also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, as it includes regular Operating System updates, so that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
