Debian is a well-known Linux release, which is used mainly on desktop machines, however many people have started using it lately as a web server OS too, due to the stability and protection it provides. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by countless qualified volunteers worldwide, so any patch that's necessary to fix some issue is released within a couple of days. The same community will also help you with any question or trouble that a user may ever have, since they can be contacted through email using e-mail lists and a qualified response will be sent in no more than 15-20 minutes. The advantage here is that your questions will be responded to by the same people who have designed the Operating System itself and they have a detailed knowledge of how it functions. As Debian is free, you will not have to pay any license fees to use it and you can personalize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages that are available for it.
Debian in VPS Servers
You can select the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server solution that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you can find on the order page, so you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up 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 provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, but you're able to manage your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have a lot of time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have a lot of experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will handle the weekly OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to select any of them with just a click for your new server, depending on what software environment the applications that you wish to use require for optimal performance. You may also choose whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but want to manage it like a shared hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more experienced users who need to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server at all. We'll also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it features regular Operating System updates, so that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
