Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most secure Operating Systems in existence, because security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of qualified developers are employed by 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 mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any question. Thus, you'll receive top-notch 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and all the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we offer and choose this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, because we give you the option to pick the right one, based on the software that you wish to install on your server once it is up and running. If you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so that you'll 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 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 web hosting account. You can also take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it comes with once a week Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment carefully before we hand over your server so as to ensure that it'll perform flawlessly. You can choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the sign-up process, so the apps that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your OS up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you acquire your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with the machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you'll have to be more experienced, since all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, via which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option in case you are not very experienced, and a specific app that you would like to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, yet the things that you're able to do are restricted.
