Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it is 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 need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most protected Operating Systems you can get, as security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply in 20 min to any question. In this light, you will get an outstanding level of 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 costs nothing to use, you're able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Web Hosting
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you will be able to use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, but you will be able to control your web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have much time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have a lot of experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will handle the weekly OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
32-bit and 64-bit editions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you will be able to select all of them with just a click for your new machine, depending on what software environment the apps that you wish to use require for the best performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come without any Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet want to manage it like a shared hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more advanced users who want to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We'll also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it features regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a secure and stable Debian installation.
