Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and reply in 20 min to any question. Thus, you will get 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 - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You are able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you're able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you are able to control your website content through a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to manage your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will handle the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you'll be able to pick all of them with just a single click for your new machine, depending on what software environment the applications which you plan to use require for optimal performance. You can 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, but want to control it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who wish to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We can also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
