Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on more and more 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 among the most protected Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll have top-level 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 releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to obtain a Debian-powered VPS server with all of our VPS solutions and you'll be able to choose if the version which will be installed throughout the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you'll ensure that the software environment will match the requirements of the apps which you need to run and that the latter will function efficiently. During the order process, you may also decide whether the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option will give you a handy graphical interface, through which you will be able to manage everything related to your online presence using only an Internet browser - files, emails, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to do everything through a console, however you'll have full root access and you can set up any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. In addition, you can add the optional Managed Services package, which includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You're able to choose the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will work in the best way. Selecting a server without any Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can manage everything using a console. A server which is obtained with our Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software that you may need for your websites. Although with the latter option the root access will be limited, you are able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of hosting service. If you buy the Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS every week so as to make sure that you have the most recent and most safe version.
