Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it's 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 protected Operating Systems you can get, because security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will have top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server solutions that we supply and pick this Operating System on the order page. You can pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to pick the right one, depending on the software that you want to install on your server once it's set up. When you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you're able to manage the content and the software through SSH. If you are less experienced, but you'd like to use software that requires Debian, you'll be able to choose our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, since it includes weekly Operating System updates done by our administrators, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you'll be able to select any of them with just a mouse click for your new machine, depending on what software environment the applications that you plan to use require for optimal performance. You can also select whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but would like to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more advanced users who would like to have more control, because ‘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 you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, since it includes regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
