Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktops, 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 will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems to be found, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are employed by 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 mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will 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 several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server solution that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you can find on the order page, which means that you can select the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either without Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you're able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, yet you are able to manage your online content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will handle the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be set up with Debian and we will test the program environment in detail before we hand over the machine in order to make sure that it'll perform flawlessly. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so the applications which you set up will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your OS up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you obtain your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will have to be more experienced, as all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, through which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option if you aren't very experienced, and a specific app which you wish to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, yet the things that you are able to do will be restricted.
