Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems available, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since 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 via special mailing lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You'll be able to choose the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, so you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you'd like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either with no Control Panel or with our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you can use the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, yet you will be able to manage your online content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have substantial experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending 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 will install later will work in the best way. Using a server without any Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything using a console. A server which is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software which you'll need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you're able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous expertise in this type of web hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week in order to ensure that you have the most recent and most safe edition.
