Debian is a Linux distribution, that is preffered for desktop computers, but it has been becoming more popular as a server OS during the last couple of years as well. It's really stable and protected, due to the fact that fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so if you have any kind of questions or troubles with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it features, you're able to contact the developers straight away via email using special mailing lists and receive a reply in 15-20 minutes. The Debian community offers the best level of support possible, as all of your questions will be handled by the same people that built Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their system functions. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be included with your website hosting fees and you'll be able to change the program code files and any other software which you install without any restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your Internet sites. Furthermore, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, as it's light and quick and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
There're a few Operating Systems that we provide with our VPS plans and Debian is among them, which means that if you'd like to have a server with this OS, you'll be able to get one in less than one hour. We also offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to ensure that the VPS you will receive will fully cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline application that you wish to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be done in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while with the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain restrictions, but you can do everything through your Internet browser using a handy web interface, even when you are not very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we can also keep your Debian OS updated weekly, saving you time and effort.
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 pick all of them with just a click for your brand new machine, depending on what software environment the apps that you wish to use require for optimal performance. You may also choose 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 want a Debian-powered server, but want to control it like a shared website hosting account, while the second option is good for more advanced users who would like to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server at all. We will also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, since it includes routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
