Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop machines, 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 will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems available, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are working 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 within 20 min to any question. Thus, you'll receive top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You'll be able to obtain a Debian-powered virtual private server with all of our VPS packages and you can choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you can make sure that the software environment will meet the system requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will function appropriately. During the order process, you can also choose if the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option gives you a user-friendly graphical interface, via that you'll be able to control everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, e-mail accounts, databases, etcetera. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to make everything via a console, yet you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

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