Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is 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 secure Operating Systems you can get, since security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of experienced 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 min to any question. Thus, you'll get 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 one of the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There are a few Operating Systems that we supply with our VPS service and Debian is one of them, so if you'd like to have a server with this Operating System, you will be able to have one in less than an hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to make sure that the VPS you will get will completely cover the system requirements of any web or offline app that you want to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be done in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, whereas with the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some restrictions, but you'll be able to do everything from your Internet browser using an intuitive web interface, even when you aren't very experienced. With the optional Managed Services package that we offer, we will also keep your Debian OS up to date every week, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit editions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to pick any of them with just a click for your brand new machine, based on what software environment the apps that you plan to use require for the best performance. You can also select whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, but wish to control it like a shared web hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who want to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We can also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, since it includes routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
