Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most protected Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after an issue 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, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll get 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 several Linux releases 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 of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You'll be able to get a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS solutions and you will be able to choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you will ensure that the software environment will match the system requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will run properly. During the order process, you may also select if the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with a handy graphical interface, through that you are able to manage everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, email accounts, databases, and so on. Without Control Panel at hand, you will have to make everything via a console, however you will have full root access and you will be able to set up any kind of software that may not be supported by Hepsia. You can also add our optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with a single click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you'll install later will work in the very best way. Using a server without Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything using a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you will need for your websites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you can manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this type of website hosting service. If you buy our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the most recent and most risk-free edition.
