Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most risk-free Operating Systems in existence, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are working 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 in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you'll obtain top-level 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you are able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS

You will be able to obtain a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS packages and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you can make sure that the software environment will match the system requirements of the apps which you need to run and that the latter will run appropriately. During the order process, you may also decide whether the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with an easy to navigate graphical interface, via that you are able to manage everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, etc. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll have to do everything via a console, however you will have full root access and you will be able to set up any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. In addition, you can add our optional Managed Services package, that includes regular Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you can choose all of them with only a single click for your new server, depending on what software environment the apps which you wish to use require for top notch performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet want to manage it like a shared web hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who want to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server at all. We will also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with regular Operating System updates, so that you will have a secure and stable Debian installation.
