Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on personal computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most protected Operating Systems nowadays, since security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and respond within 20 min to any question. Thus, you'll 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 the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you can modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
You'll be able to get 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 will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you will ensure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will run correctly. During the order process, you can also select if the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without any Control Panel at all. The first option will give you a user-friendly graphical interface, through that you are able to manage everything related to your web presence using only an Internet browser - files, emails, databases, and the like. With no Control Panel at hand, you will need to do everything via a console, however you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install any software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes weekly Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
You're able to pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a single click on our order page and depending on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the very best way. With a server without any Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to control everything through a console. A server which is acquired with our Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software that you will need for your Internet sites. Although with the latter option the root access will be limited, you are able to manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of website hosting service. When you order our Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week in order to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free release.
