Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop machines, 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 regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems to choose from, as security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of qualified 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 via special e-mail lists and reply within 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will have 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 one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you can modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we offer and choose this Operating System on the order page. You will be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to choose the right one, depending on the software that you'd like to install on your server once it is set up. When you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you'll have full root access and you'll be able to control the content and the software using SSH. If you are less experienced, but you would like to use an application which requires Debian, you'll be able to choose the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. You may also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it features once a week Operating System updates done by our administrators, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the optimal way. With a server with no Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to manage everything through a console. A server that is acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software that you may need for your websites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you are able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this kind of website hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the most current and most safe release.
