Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on a growing 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 nowadays, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain 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 one of several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you can modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You're able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you can find on the order page, so you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you would like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you will be able to use the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, but you are able to control your website content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have much experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will handle the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each dedicated server that we offer can be set up with Debian and we will test the program environment thoroughly before we hand over your machine in order to make sure that it'll perform appropriately. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the signup process, so the applications which 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 optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will need to be more experienced, because all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you can manage domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be a better option when you aren't very experienced, but a certain application which you need to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH as well, but the things that you can do will be restricted.
