Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most safe Operating Systems available, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of qualified developers work 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 through special e-mail lists and respond within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you will obtain top-level 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 several Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you are able to modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
You will be able to acquire a Debian-powered virtual private server with any of our VPS solutions and you will be able to choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. This way, you can make sure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will work appropriately. Throughout the order process, you may also select if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option provides you with an easy to navigate graphical interface, through that you're able to manage everything related to your world wide web presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, etc. With no Control Panel at hand, you'll have to make everything via a console, but you'll have full root access and you can set up any kind of software that may not be compatible with Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, which includes regular Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will work in the best way. Selecting a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you will be able to control everything through a console. A server that's acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you may need for your sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you can manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this kind of website hosting service. If you order our Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to ensure that you have the latest and most secure version.
