Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems you can get, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and reply in twenty minutes to any question. Thus, you will get 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 among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
You will be able to obtain a Debian-powered virtual private server with all of our VPS solutions and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. In this way, you'll guarantee that the software environment will match the requirements of the apps which you want to run and that the latter will function appropriately. During the order process, you can also choose whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option will provide you with a handy graphical interface, through that you are able to manage everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, email addresses, databases, and so on. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll have to make everything through a console, but you will have full root access and you can set up any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. In addition, you can add our optional Managed Services package, that includes weekly Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
You can select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a click on our registration page and according to your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. With a server without Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server which is acquired with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you may need for your Internet sites. Although with the latter option the root access will be limited, you are able to control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this kind of hosting service. If you order our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS weekly in order to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free version.
