Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most protected Operating Systems you can get, because security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of skilled 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. In this light, you will 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 one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server plans that we provide and pick this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to pick the right one, based on the software which you'd like to install on your server once it's up and running. If you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so that you will have full root access and you're able to control the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an application that requires Debian, you can select our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, as it comes with 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 will test the software environment completely before we hand over your machine to make sure that it will perform properly. You are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so that the applications which you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your OS up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you acquire your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you want with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you will have to be more skillful, since all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, through which you can control domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option in case you aren't very experienced, but a certain application which you want to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, however the things that you're able to do will be limited.
