Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on personal computers, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most protected Operating Systems to be found, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and reply in 20 minutes to any question. In this light, you will 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 - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either without any Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you'll be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, however you are able to control your website content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have a lot of time to control your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have a lot of experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will handle the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you'll be able to select any of them with just a single click for your brand new machine, depending on what software environment the apps that you plan to use require for the best performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, yet want to control it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more experienced users who would like to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server at all. We will also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
