Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop computers, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems to choose from, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of experienced 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 through special e-mail lists and reply within twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will enjoy 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 - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You're able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either devoid of Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you can take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, however you'll be able to manage your online content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have much time to control your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have substantial experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we'll test the program environment completely before we hand over your server in order to ensure that it will perform properly. You are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release throughout the sign-up process, so that the applications that you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your OS up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you acquire your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you like with the machine and you will have full root-level access, but you'll have to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, through which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option in case you aren't very experienced, and a particular application that you want to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, however the things which you're able to do will be restricted.
