Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems to choose from, because security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers work 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 by using special e-mail lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. Thus, you will enjoy 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you can modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not need 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 plans that we supply and choose this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to pick the right one, according to the software that you would like to install on your server once it is set up. If you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you will have full root access and you will be able to control the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an app which requires Debian, you're able to pick our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. In addition, you can take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, since it includes once a week Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You are able to pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with only a click on our registration page and based on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the best possible way. With a server with no Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all of the software which you will need for your Internet sites. Although with the latter option the root access will be 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 web hosting service. If you get our Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free release.
