Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and reply in twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will obtain 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 among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you are able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

You will be able to obtain a Debian-powered virtual private server with all of our VPS plans and you can choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. In this way, you can make sure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the applications which you need to run and that the latter will work effectively. Throughout the order process, you can also decide if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option will give you an easy-to-use graphical interface, through that you can control everything related to your online presence using only a web browser - files, email addresses, databases, and so on. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll have to make everything via a console, however you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install any kind of software that may not be supported by 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 pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the right way. With a server without any Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you will be able to control everything using a console. A server that's ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you may need for your web sites. Although with the latter option the root access is restricted, you're able to control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. When you buy our Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the most current and most secure version.
