Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop computers, 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 have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most safe Operating Systems out there, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are employed by 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 e-mail lists and respond within twenty minutes to any question. In this light, you will receive an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't be required to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Web Hosting
There are several Operating Systems that we supply with our Linux VPS web hosting packages and Debian is one of them, so if you'd like to have a server with this OS, you can acquire one in under an hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS to make sure that the VPS you'll get will fully cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline application which you want to install on the server. Managing the content on the server can be performed in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. With no Control Panel, you'll be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server using Secure Shell, as you'll have root-level access, whereas through the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain limitations, but you'll be able to do everything through your browser using a user-friendly web interface, even when you are not very experienced. With the optional Managed Services package that we supply, we can also keep your Debian OS up to date on a weekly basis, saving you effort and time.
Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment in detail before we hand over your server in order to ensure that it will perform perfectly. You're able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so that the apps that you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your Operating System up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you get your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you want with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, however you will have to be more experienced, since all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will get a web interface, via which you can control domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option if you aren't very experienced, but a particular app that you intend to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, but the things which you will be able to do will be limited.
