Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems you can get, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. 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, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and respond within twenty minutes to any question. Thus, 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 - over 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can acquire a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS solutions and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. In this way, you can make sure that the software environment will match the requirements of the applications which you want to run and that the latter will work properly. Throughout the order process, you may also choose if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without any Control Panel at all. The first option will give you an easy to navigate graphical interface, via that you will be able to control everything related to your web presence using only an Internet browser - files, email accounts, databases, and many more. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to do everything via a console, yet you will have full root access and you can set up any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. In addition, you can add our optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You can select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will perform in the best way. Using a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to control everything using a console. A server which is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you will need for your web sites. Though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you'll be able to manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this kind of website hosting service. When you purchase 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 current and most secure edition.
