Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems you can get, as security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll have an outstanding level of 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You will be able to acquire a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS plans and you'll be able to choose if the version which will be installed throughout the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you can ensure that the software environment will match the requirements of the apps that you need to run and that the latter will work efficiently. During the order process, you can also decide whether the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option will give you an intuitive graphical interface, via which you're able to manage everything related to your online presence using only a web browser - files, e-mail addresses, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to make everything via a console, yet you will have full root access and you can set up any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You may also add the optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the optimal way. Selecting a server devoid of Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything using a console. A server which is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all of the software that you'll need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you will be 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 type of web hosting service. When you get our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free release.
