Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it's really 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, as security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-trained 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 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy 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 the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server solutions that we offer and pick this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, as we give you the option to choose the right one, based on the software that you want to install on your server once it's set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so that you will have full root access and you're able to manage the content and the software through SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an app that requires Debian, you can select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, as it features once a week Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among various other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
32-bit and 64-bit editions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you can choose any of them with just a click for your new server, depending on what software environment the applications that you wish to use require for optimal performance. You may also choose whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, yet wish to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more advanced users who would like to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software set up on the server whatsoever. We'll also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
