Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktops, it is being used on an increasing 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 regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems to be found, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are part of 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 e-mail lists and reply in 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll have 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. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core and all of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't have to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
You'll be able to obtain a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you'll be able to choose if the version which will be installed throughout the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you can guarantee that the software environment will meet the system requirements of the apps that you wish to run and that the latter will run correctly. Throughout the order process, you can also choose whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without Control Panel at all. The first option gives you an easy-to-use graphical interface, through which you will be able to manage everything related to your online presence using only an Internet browser - files, email accounts, databases, and so on. Without Control Panel at hand, you'll need to do everything via a console, however you'll have full root access and you can install any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. You may also add our optional Managed Services package, that includes weekly Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to pick any of them with only a click for your brand new machine, based on what software environment the apps which you wish to use require for top notch performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is made for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, but want to manage it like a shared website hosting account, while the second option is good for more advanced users who would like to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We will also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it includes routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
