Debian is a Linux release, that's preffered for desktop machines, but it's been gaining in popularity as a server OS over the last couple of years too. It's really dependable and protected, due to the fact that fixes are released in a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so when you have any questions or troubles with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it features, you are able to contact the developers right away via e-mail using special mailing lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by the very same people that created Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their own system works. As the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your hosting fees and you can modify the code files and any other software which you install without restrictions, so as to optimize the software environment for your sites. Furthermore, Debian performs very well on any hardware, because it's light and efficient and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS
You can pick the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you are able to use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, however you will be able to control your website content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have much time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have substantial experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will handle the weekly OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Hosting
You're able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you will install later will work in the best possible way. Using a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to control everything through a console. A server which is acquired with our Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software which you will need for your Internet sites. Even though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you will be able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. When you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the latest and most safe version.
