Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is 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 safe Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll get an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server solutions that we provide and pick this Operating System on the registration page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to choose the right one, based on the software which you'd like to install on your server once it is up and running. In case you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you will be able to control the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, but you'd like to use an application which requires Debian, you are able to choose our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, since it includes weekly Operating System updates done by our administrators, among other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment completely before we hand over the machine to ensure that it'll perform appropriately. You're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so that the applications that you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you want with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you will have to be more experienced, since all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, through which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option in case you are not very experienced, and a certain app which you need to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, yet the things which you'll be able to do are restricted.
