Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems available, since security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. Thus, you'll enjoy 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 among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server solutions that we provide and select this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to pick the more appropriate one, depending on the software that you want to install on your server once it is set up. In case you're more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you will have full root access and you are able to manage the content and the software via SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an application that requires Debian, you are able to choose the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You may also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, since it features regular Operating System updates done by our administrators, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

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