Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most safe Operating Systems you can get, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You're able to pick the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of 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 devoid of Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, as you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, but you'll be able to manage your web content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have a lot of experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we'll test the program environment completely before we hand over your machine so as to ensure that it'll perform flawlessly. You will be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the registration process, so that the applications which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your Operating System up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you acquire your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you'll have to be more skillful, as all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, via which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be the best option if you aren't very experienced, and a specific application which you wish to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, however the things that you will be able to do will be restricted.
