Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktop computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. 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 among the most protected Operating Systems to choose from, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are working for 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 mailing lists and respond within twenty minutes to any kind of 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 the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server plans that we supply and choose this Operating System on the registration page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to choose the right one, based on the software that you want to install on your server once it is up and running. When you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you can manage the content and the software via SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an app that requires Debian, you are able to choose the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. You can also reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, since it comes with regular Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment thoroughly before we hand over your server so as to ensure that it will perform perfectly. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so that the apps that you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your OS up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. If you order your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you'll need to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option when you aren't very experienced, and a certain app that you'd like to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, however the things that you can do will be limited.
