Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most safe Operating Systems in existence, as security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers work for 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 in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will have top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't have to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Hosting

If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server plans that we provide and select this Operating System on the registration page. You can choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to select the right one, based on the software that you would like to install on your server once it is set up. If you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so you'll have full root access and you can manage the content and the software via SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an application which requires Debian, you'll be able to select the Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. You may also take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it includes regular Operating System updates done by our admins, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you can select all of them with only a mouse click for your new machine, based on what software environment the applications which you want to use require for the best performance. You can 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 inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but wish to control it like a shared website hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more advanced 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 at all. We can also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
