Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on personal computers, it's being used on an increasing 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 regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems to be found, 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 through special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will enjoy 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There're a few Operating Systems that we provide with our VPS servers and Debian is one of them, therefore if you'd like to have a server with this OS, you will be able to get one in under one hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to ensure that the VPS you'll obtain will fully cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline app that you want to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be performed in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, whereas using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some restrictions, but you can do everything from your Internet browser using an intuitive web interface, even when you are not very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we'll also maintain your Debian OS up to date on a weekly basis, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a single click on our registration page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the very best way. Using a server without any Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you will be able to control everything using a console. A server which is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software that you may need for your web sites. Though with the latter option the root access is limited, you will be able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this kind of web hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week in order to ensure that you have the most current and most secure version.
