Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on personal computers, it is being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most secure Operating Systems nowadays, as 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, they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll have top-notch 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 costs nothing to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to obtain a Debian-powered VPS server with all of our VPS packages and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. Thus, you will ensure that the software environment will meet the requirements of the apps which you need to run and that the latter will work correctly. During the order process, you may also select whether the VPS will come with the Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. The first option gives you a handy graphical interface, through which you will be able to control everything related to your web presence using only a web browser - files, e-mail addresses, databases, etc. With no Control Panel at hand, you will need to do everything via a console, yet you'll have full root access and you can install any kind of software that may not be supported by Hepsia. In addition, you can add our optional Managed Services package, that includes weekly Operating System updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to select all of them with only a single click for your brand new server, 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 installed on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet wish to manage it like a shared website hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more experienced users who wish to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We will also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it features routine Operating System updates, so that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
