Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. 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, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and respond in twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll get top-notch 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you can modify both the core and all the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
You are able to acquire a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS packages and you'll be able to choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you will guarantee that the software environment will match the system requirements of the apps that you wish to run and that the latter will run correctly. Throughout the order process, you may also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option will provide you with an easy to navigate graphical interface, through that you're able to control everything related to your web presence using only an Internet browser - files, e-mail accounts, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will have to do everything through a console, yet you'll have full root access and you will be able to install any software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment completely before we hand over the machine in order to ensure that it'll perform flawlessly. You will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the signup process, so that the apps that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your OS up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. If you acquire your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will have to be more experienced, because all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, through which you'll be able to control domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be the best option when you aren't very experienced, and a particular application that you wish to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, yet the things that you can do are limited.
