Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it is being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most risk-free Operating Systems available, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will get 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to acquire a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you can choose if the version which will be installed during the server setup process will be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you'll guarantee that the software environment will match the requirements of the apps that you want to run and that the latter will run efficiently. During the order process, you can also decide whether the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or without a Control Panel at all. The first option will provide you with an easy-to-use graphical interface, through which you will be able to manage everything related to your online presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, and so on. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will need to make everything through a console, however you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install any kind of software that may not be supported by Hepsia. You can also add the optional Managed Services package, that includes regular 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 can pick any of them with only a mouse click for your new server, depending on what software environment the apps that you would like to use require for optimal performance. You may also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come without any Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet want to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more experienced users who want to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We can also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it features regular Operating System updates, so that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
