Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems you can get, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will enjoy 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely 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 be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There're several Operating Systems that we provide with our VPS servers and Debian is one of them, so if you'd like to have a server with this OS, you can acquire one in under 1 hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to ensure that the VPS you will have will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline app which you intend to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be performed in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you'll be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some limitations, but you'll be able to do everything through your browser using a handy web interface, even when you aren't very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package which we offer, we will also keep your Debian OS updated every week, saving you time and effort.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
With each of our dedicated web hosting plans, you're able to have a web hosting powerhouse running Debian right away. This Operating System is among the options that you'll get during the registration process and you're able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit version, depending on what software environment your applications need. In case you would like to have full root access, you're able to get a server with no Control Panel, so you will have more freedom in terms of what you can do with your machine by using SSH. If you have less experience, yet you need Debian for a particular piece of software, you can obtain the server with our Hepsia Control Panel. Regardless that the root access will be more limited, you're able to do anything related to your online content with ease using an intuitive graphical interface. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle to your dedicated server plan, our sysadmins will deal with the weekly OS updates. They'll perform various other important tasks for your benefit too.
