Debian is a Linux release, that is widespread for desktop machines, but it's been gaining in popularity as a server OS over the last few years too. It's very stable and protected, since fixes are released in just a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so when 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 directly via email using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 minutes. The Debian community supplies the top level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by exactly the same people that built Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their own system operates. Because 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 customize the program code files and any other software which you install with no restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your Internet sites. What's more, Debian performs very well on any kind of hardware, as it's light and fast and doesn't require a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS Web Hosting
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server plan that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either with no Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, yet you can manage your online content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to control your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will handle the regular OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to choose any of them with just a click for your brand new server, based on what software environment the applications which you plan to use require for the best performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or if it should come without any Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but wish to control it like a shared website hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who would like to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We'll also save your time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it features routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
