Debian is a Linux distribution, that's widely used for desktop machines, yet it's been becoming more popular as a server Operating System during the last few years too. It is really dependable and protected, because fixes are released within a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so when you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it is equipped with, you are able to contact the developers straight away through electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a response in just 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, since your questions will be handled by exactly the 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 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your web hosting fees and you'll be able to customize the code files and any other software which you install without any restrictions, so as to optimize the software environment for your sites. What's more, Debian performs really well on any hardware, because it's light and effective and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we offer and pick this Operating System on the registration page. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, since we give you the option to select the more appropriate one, according to the software that you would like to install on your server once it's up and running. In case you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so that you'll have full root access and you are able to control the content and the software via SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an app which requires Debian, you are able to pick our Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, as it includes regular Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among other useful things.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
You can select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a click on our order page and depending on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the optimal way. Choosing a server with no Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to manage everything using a console. A server that's acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel will come with all the software that you may need for your websites. Though with the latter option the root access is restricted, you will be able to control the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this kind of hosting service. When you buy our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis so as to make sure that you have the most recent and most safe edition.
