Debian is a Linux distribution, which is preffered for desktop computers, however it's been gaining popularity as a server OS over the last few years too. It is really dependable and protected, since fixes are released in just a few 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 will be able to contact the developers right away through email using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 min. The Debian community offers the best level of support possible, as all your questions will be handled by the same people that created Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their own system functions. Since the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license costs will be included with your website hosting fees and you can change the code files and any additional software which you install without any restrictions, so as to optimize the software environment for your web sites. In addition, Debian performs really well on any hardware, because it's light and effective and does not require much memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server plans that we supply and select this Operating System on the order page. You will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to select the more appropriate one, according to the software which you'd like to install on your server once it's set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you'll have full root access and you can control the content and the software using SSH. If you are less experienced, but you would like to use software that requires Debian, you are able to choose our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, as it comes with regular Operating System updates done by our administrators, among various other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you can choose all of them with just a single click for your new server, depending on what software environment the apps that you want to use require for optimal performance. You may also select whether our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come without Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet want to manage it like a shared hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more advanced users who want to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We can also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
