Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems in existence, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of qualified 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 via special mailing lists and respond in twenty minutes to any question. In this light, you will have 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 among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you will not have to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
There are several Operating Systems that we offer with our VPS servers and Debian is among them, so when you'd like to have a server with this OS, you can have one in less than 1 hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS to ensure that the VPS you will get will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline app which you wish to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be performed in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you're able to 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 some restrictions, but you can do everything through your web browser using an intuitive web interface, even if you aren't very experienced. Using the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we'll also maintain your Debian OS up to date on a weekly basis, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
With all of our dedicated servers, you're able to acquire a website hosting powerhouse running Debian right away. This Operating System is one of the options that you'll get throughout the registration process and you will be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, depending on what software environment your applications need. When you would like to have full root access, you will be able to acquire a server without a Control Panel, so you'll have more freedom in terms of what you can do with your machine by using SSH. In case you have less experience, however you need Debian for a certain piece of software, you'll be able to obtain the server with our Hepsia Control Panel. Despite the fact that the root access is more limited, you will be able to do anything related to your world wide web content easily using a user-friendly graphical interface. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle to your dedicated server plan, our sysadmins will take care of the weekly OS enhancements. They'll perform many other important tasks for your benefit as well.
