Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktops, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most secure Operating Systems available, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced 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 by using special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will obtain an outstanding level of 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. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting

When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server solutions that we supply and select this Operating System on the order page. You will be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, because we give you the option to pick the more appropriate one, based on the software that you wish to install on your server once it is set up. In case you're more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, and you'll have full root access and you can manage the content and the software using SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an app which requires Debian, you can select our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. You can also take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, since it features regular Operating System updates done by our administrators, among other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

You will be able to pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with only a click on our order page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. Selecting a server without any Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything through a console. A server that is acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software which you will need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you will be able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, therefore you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this type of hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis to ensure that you have the most current and most safe release.
