Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is 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 need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems you can get, as 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 through special e-mail lists and reply in twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll receive top-level 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 - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You'll be able to obtain a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS plans and you will be able to choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you will make sure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the apps that you want to run and that the latter will run effectively. Throughout the order process, you may also select if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without any Control Panel at all. The first option gives you an intuitive graphical interface, through which you're able to control everything related to your world wide web presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, etcetera. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll need to do everything through a console, yet you will have full root access and you will be able to set up any software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You are able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with only a mouse click on our registration page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the optimal way. Selecting a server without any Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can control everything through a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software which you will need for your web sites. Though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you are able to control the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous expertise in this type of hosting service. When you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS weekly so as to make sure that you have the latest and most safe edition.
