Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most safe Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and respond in 20 min to any question. Thus, you will have an outstanding level of 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. Since the Operating System is free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS

When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server solutions that we offer and choose this Operating System on the registration page. You will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to select the right one, depending on the software that you wish to install on your server once it's up and running. When you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you will have full root access and you will be able to manage the content and the software via SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you would like to use software which requires Debian, you can select our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, since it features regular Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

You are able to choose the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with only a single click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will perform in the right way. Using a server without Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can manage everything through a console. A server that's obtained with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you'll need for your websites. Even though with the latter option the root access is limited, you're able to control the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this type of web hosting service. If you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to ensure that you have the most current and most secure version.
