Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and reply in 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will receive top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You can select the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you will be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, but you'll be able to manage your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we supply can be set up with Debian and we'll test the program environment carefully before we hand over your machine to make sure that it will perform flawlessly. You are able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release throughout the registration process, so that the apps which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you'll need to be more skillful, as all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option in case you are not very experienced, but a specific app that you need to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, however the things which you will be able to do will be restricted.
