Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained 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 by using special mailing lists and reply within twenty minutes 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 the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not have to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we provide and select this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to select the more appropriate one, depending on the software that you wish to install on your server once it's up and running. If you're more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you're able to manage the content and the software using SSH. If you are less experienced, but you'd like to use an application that requires Debian, you're able to select the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. You may also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, because it features regular Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
With all of our Linux dedicated servers, you can obtain a website hosting powerhouse running Debian right away. This Operating System is one of the choices that you will get during the registration process and you're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, depending on what software environment your apps need. In case you want to have full root access, you can acquire a server without a Control Panel, so you will have more freedom in terms of what you can do with the machine by using SSH. In case you have less experience, but you need Debian for a particular computer program, you will be able to acquire the server with our Hepsia Control Panel. Despite the fact that the root access is more limited, you will be able to do anything related to your world wide web content easily via an easy to use graphical interface. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle to your dedicated server package, our sysadmins will take care of the weekly OS updates. They will perform some other useful tasks for your benefit as well.
