Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on more and more 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 considered to be among the most safe Operating Systems to be found, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers work for 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 e-mail lists and reply within twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy top-notch 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 the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you will be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't have to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There are several Operating Systems that we offer with our VPS servers and Debian is among them, which means that if you need a server with this OS, you will be able to have one in less than one hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to make sure that the VPS you will get will completely cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline app that you intend to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be done in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you are able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you'll have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some restrictions, but you will be able to do everything from your Internet browser using an intuitive web interface, even if you are not very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we can also maintain your Debian OS updated weekly, saving you time and effort.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You're able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. With a server without Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server that is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software which you will need for your Internet sites. Though with the latter option the root access is limited, you will be able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this type of web hosting service. When you order the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis in order to ensure that you have the latest and most safe release.
