Debian
Discover why the Debian Linux distribution is really so famous and why many server admins select it for their servers.
Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on personal computers, it is being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most safe Operating Systems in existence, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of skilled developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support through special e-mail lists and reply within 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll get an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you are able to modify both the core and all the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every
VPS server solution 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 select the one that is more suitable for the software that you would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you will be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you can control your website content via a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to choose the Debian OS for your new
dedicated server with only a single click on our registration page and based on your choice, we'll install 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 optimal way. Using a server with no Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything using a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you will need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is limited, you can manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this type of hosting service. If you order the Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis in order to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free release.
