Debian is a Linux release, that is preffered for desktop machines, but it has been becoming more popular as a server OS over the last few years too. It is really stable and safe, because fixes are released within a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so when you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you can easily contact the developers right away via e-mail using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, as all of your questions will be handled by the same people who created Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their system functions. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your website hosting fees and you'll be able to modify the program code files and any other software which you install without any restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your web sites. In addition, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, as it is light and efficient and does not require a lot of memory.

Debian in VPS Servers

You are able to pick the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you can find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be 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, because you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, yet you are able to manage your website content via a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have much time to command your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have much experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will handle the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our registration page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the very best way. Choosing a server with no Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you can manage everything using a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you'll need for your sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is limited, you are able to control 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 have no previous expertise in this type of web hosting service. When you get the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS every week in order to make sure that you have the most recent and most secure edition.
