Debian is a Linux distribution, that's widespread for desktop machines, but it has been becoming more popular as a server OS over the last couple of years too. It is very dependable and risk-free, because fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so when you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it features, you can contact the developers directly via electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a response within 15-20 minutes. The Debian community provides the best level of support possible, as all of your questions will be handled by the same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their own system works. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be included with your hosting fees and you'll be able to modify the program code files and any additional software that you install without restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your sites. In addition, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, as it is light and efficient and doesn't require much memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
There're a few Operating Systems that we supply with our VPS hosting plans and Debian is one of them, which means that if you need a server with this Operating System, you can get one in under 1 hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to ensure that the VPS you will obtain will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline application that you need to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be performed in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you'll have root-level access, while through the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain restrictions, but you will be able to do everything through your Internet browser using an intuitive web interface, even when you aren't very experienced. Using the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we'll also keep your Debian OS updated on a weekly basis, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you will be able to select any of them with just a mouse click for your brand new machine, depending on what software environment the applications that you plan to use require for optimal performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is made for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but wish to manage it like a shared website hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more experienced users who would like to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server at all. We will also save your time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
