Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most secure Operating Systems available, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of well-trained 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 via special mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any question. Thus, you will get an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you will be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

There're several Operating Systems that we offer with our VPS servers and Debian is among them, therefore if you need a server with this Operating System, you can get one in under 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 web or offline application that you would like to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be done in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you are able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you'll have root-level access, while through the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some limitations, but you can do everything from your browser using a user-friendly web interface, even if you are not very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package which we supply, we will also keep your Debian OS updated on a weekly basis, saving you effort and time.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you are able to choose all of them with only a single click for your new machine, based on what software environment the apps which you plan to use require for the best performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come without any Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet would like to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more advanced users who would like to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software set up on the server at all. We'll also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it includes regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
