Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on more and more web servers as well. The reason is that it is 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 nowadays, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and reply in twenty minutes to any question. Thus, you'll get 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 releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server package that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, which means that you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you're able to use the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, yet you can control your website content through a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have much time to command your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we offer can be set up with Debian and we'll test the program environment completely before we hand over the machine so as to ensure that it'll perform perfectly. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the signup process, so the applications which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. If you acquire your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you'll have to be more experienced, because all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be the best option in case you are not very experienced, but a certain app that you'd like to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, yet the things which you're able to do are restricted.
