Debian is a Linux release, which is widely used for desktop computers, yet it's been gaining popularity as a server OS during the last few years too. It is really dependable and risk-free, as fixes are released in a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so when you have any kind of questions or troubles with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it features, you can easily contact the developers immediately via e-mail using special e-mail lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, since your questions will be handled by the very same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their system works. As the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your hosting fees and you'll be able to customize the program code files and any additional software which you install without any restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your websites. What's more, Debian performs really well on any hardware, because it's light and fast and doesn't require much memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we offer and pick this Operating System on the order page. You can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, because we give you the option to select the right one, depending on the software that you'd like to install on your server once it's set up. In case you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you will have full root access and you will be able to manage the content and the software through SSH. If you are less experienced, but you would like to use software which requires Debian, you are able to select our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it includes once a week Operating System updates performed by our admins, among other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You'll be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a single click on our registration page and based on your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will perform in the best possible way. With a server without Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything through a console. A server that is ordered with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you will need for your websites. Although 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 experience with this kind of website hosting service. If you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we'll take care of your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to make sure that you have the latest and most risk-free release.
