Debian is a Linux distribution, that is preffered for desktop machines, however it has been becoming more popular as a server OS over the last few years as well. It is very stable and protected, since fixes are released in a few days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so if you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it includes, you will be able to contact the developers directly through email using special mailing lists and receive a reply in just 15-20 minutes. The Debian community offers the top level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by the very same people who built Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their system functions. As the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license costs will be included with your website hosting fees and you'll be able to customize the code files and any additional software which you install without restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your websites. What's more, Debian performs really well on any hardware, as it's light and effective and doesn't require much memory.

Debian in VPS Servers

You are able to choose the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you will find on the order page, so you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, as you will have full root access and you'll be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, yet you're able to control your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have a lot of time to control your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have substantial experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit editions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you'll be able to pick any of them with just a mouse click for your new machine, depending on what software environment the apps which you plan to use require for optimal performance. You can also select whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, yet wish to control it like a shared website hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more experienced users who wish to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software set up on the server whatsoever. We'll also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
