Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on personal computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. 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 among the most protected Operating Systems available, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and respond within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll enjoy top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you will be able to modify both the core and all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can acquire a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you'll be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you'll ensure that the software environment will match the requirements of the applications that you need to run and that the latter will run effectively. During the order process, you may also choose whether the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option will provide you with an easy-to-work-with graphical interface, through which you will be able to manage everything related to your online presence using only an Internet browser - files, email addresses, databases, etcetera. Without Control Panel at hand, you will have to do everything through a console, yet you'll have full root access and you will be able to install any software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. In addition, you can add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the optimal way. Using a server without Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything through a console. A server which is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software that you may need for your web sites. Although with the latter option the root access is limited, you're able to control 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 experience with this type of website hosting service. When you order our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS weekly so as to ensure that you have the most recent and most risk-free edition.
