Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop machines, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most secure Operating Systems to be found, because security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of experienced developers are working 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 via special mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you'll receive 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 among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you are 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 Servers
You are able to obtain a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS solutions and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you will make sure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the apps which you wish to run and that the latter will function correctly. Throughout the order process, you can also decide if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option will give you an intuitive graphical interface, through that you're able to manage everything related to your world wide web presence using only an Internet browser - files, e-mails, databases, and many more. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll have to do everything through a console, yet you will have full root access and you'll be able to install any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. In addition, you can add our optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
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 mouse click for your brand new server, depending on what software environment the applications that you wish to use require for optimal performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but would like to control it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is suitable for more experienced users who need to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server at all. We will also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, since it features routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
