Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on personal computers, 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 will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and reply within twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will enjoy an outstanding level of 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to acquire a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans 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. Thus, you can guarantee that the software environment will meet the requirements of the apps which you wish to run and that the latter will work properly. Throughout the order process, you may also decide if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option will give you a handy graphical interface, through that you're able to control everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, e-mail accounts, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you'll have to do everything via a console, however you will have full root access and you will be able to set up any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. You can also add our optional Managed Services package, that includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You're able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the best possible way. With a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything using a console. A server which is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software that you may need for your sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you'll be 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 expertise in this kind of website hosting service. When you order the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the most recent and most risk-free version.
