Debian is a Linux distribution, which is widely used for desktop machines, yet it has been gaining in popularity as a server Operating System during the last few years too. It's very dependable and protected, as fixes are released within a few days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so if you have any questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you are able to contact the developers without delay via electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community offers the best level of support possible, as all your questions will be handled by the same people who created Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their system operates. As the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your hosting fees and you will be able to modify the code files and any other software that you install without restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your web sites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any hardware, as it's light and quick and does not need much memory.

Debian in VPS Servers

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System with each VPS server solution that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either with no Control Panel or with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you will be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, but you can control your web content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have much time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we'll test the software environment thoroughly before we hand over your server in order to make sure that it'll perform appropriately. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the registration process, so that the applications that you set up will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your OS up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you acquire your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you want with the machine and you will have full root-level access, however you will have to be more experienced, since all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, via which you can manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option when you aren't very experienced, and a certain application which you intend to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH as well, however the things that you can do will be restricted.
