Debian
Learn why the Debian Linux distribution is so extremely favored and why a lot of server admins choose it for their servers.
Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop computers, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of skilled developers are employed by 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 in twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will obtain 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. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you can modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers
There are several Operating Systems that we offer with our
Linux VPS web hosting service and Debian is among them, therefore if you'd like to have a server with this Operating System, you'll be able to get one in under 1 hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS to ensure that the VPS you will have will completely cover the system requirements of any web or offline application which you would like to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be done in two ways, depending on the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you can do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, whereas with the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain restrictions, but you will be able to do everything through your browser using an intuitive web interface, even if you are not very experienced. Using the optional Managed Services package that we offer, we'll also maintain your Debian OS up to date weekly, saving you time and effort.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
You are able to select the Debian Operating System for your new
dedicated server with only a single click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will perform in the very best way. With a server devoid of Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you can manage everything through a console. A server that's ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will come with all of the software that you may need for your websites. Though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you will be able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this type of hosting service. If you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis to ensure that you have the most current and most safe release.
