Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on personal computers, it's being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most protected Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible because thousands of 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 through special mailing lists and reply within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
There're a few Operating Systems that we supply with our Linux VPS hosting and Debian is one of them, therefore if you need a server with this OS, you can get one in under one hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS to make sure that the VPS you will obtain will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline app which you want to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be done in two ways, depending on the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you're able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain limitations, but you will be able to do everything from your browser using a user-friendly web interface, even when you aren't very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package which we offer, we'll also maintain your Debian OS up to date every week, saving you time and effort.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we'll test the software environment in depth before we hand over your server to make sure that it will perform properly. You are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so the applications which you set up will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your OS up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. If you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you will have to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option in case you aren't very experienced, and a particular application which you intend to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, but the things that you will be able to do are restricted.
