Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very 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 nowadays, because security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you will be able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You can get a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed throughout the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you will ensure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will function correctly. Throughout the order process, you can also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without any Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with an intuitive graphical interface, via which you will be able to manage everything related to your online presence using only a web browser - files, e-mails, databases, etc. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll have to do everything through a console, yet you'll have full root access and you can install any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add our optional Managed Services package, which includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment in depth before we hand over the machine in order to make sure that it will perform properly. You will be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so the applications which you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your OS up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you want with the machine and you will have full root-level access, but you'll need to be more experienced, as all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, via which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option if you are not very experienced, and a specific application which you would like to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, but the things that you are able to do will be limited.
