Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although 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 need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers work for 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 e-mail lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you will have top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There are a few Operating Systems that we provide with our Linux VPS web hosting plans and Debian is one of them, therefore if you need a server with this Operating System, you'll be able to have one in less than one hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to make sure that the VPS you will receive will fully cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline app which you wish to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be performed in two ways, depending on the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain restrictions, but you'll be able to do everything from your browser using a handy web interface, even if you are not very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we'll also maintain your Debian OS up to date weekly, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You are able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a single click on our registration page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the best possible way. Using a server without Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything through a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you'll need for your web sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you'll be able to manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of web hosting service. When you purchase our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week in order to make sure that you have the most current and most risk-free edition.
