Debian is a popular Linux distribution, which is used primarily on desktop machines, still a lot of people have started using it lately as a web server Operating System as well, due to the stability and protection it offers. The latter is a direct result the fact that Debian is developed and supported by thousands of qualified volunteers all around the world, therefore any patch which is required to fix some issue is released within a matter of days. The very same community will also help with any question or problem which a user may ever have, due to the fact that they can be contacted via email using e-mail lists and a qualified response will be sent in no more than 15-20 min. The advantage here is that all of your questions will be addressed by the same people who have designed the Operating System itself and they have a detailed knowledge of how it functions. As Debian is absolutely free, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees to use it and you'll be able to personalize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for both the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages that are readily available for it.
Debian in VPS Servers
You're able to pick the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you would like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you're able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you're able to manage your web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have substantial experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will handle the regular OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You are able to select the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a click on our registration page and according to your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you'll install later will work in the best way. With a server without any Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything through a console. A server that is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software which you may need for your web sites. Although with the latter option the root access is restricted, you are able to manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, which means that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you do not have previous experience with this type of website hosting service. If you buy the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to ensure that you have the latest and most safe version.
