Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are part of 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 mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any question. In this light, you will obtain 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 several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
You can obtain a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS solutions and you'll be able to choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you will ensure that the software environment will match the requirements of the applications that you wish to run and that the latter will function effectively. During the order process, you may also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without any Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with a handy graphical interface, through that you'll be able to manage everything related to your world wide web presence using only an Internet browser - files, e-mail accounts, databases, and many more. Without Control Panel at hand, you will need to make everything via a console, but you will have full root access and you'll be able to install any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to pick any of them with only a click for your brand new server, depending on what software environment the applications that you want to use require for optimal performance. You may also select whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed 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, yet wish to manage it like a shared web hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who wish to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server at all. We can also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
