Debian is a well-known Linux distribution, which is used primarily on desktop machines, however lots of people have begun using it lately as a web server OS as well, due to the stability and security it offers. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by countless qualified volunteers worldwide, which means that any patch which is required to fix some issue is released within a couple of days. The very same community can also help with any question or problem which a user may ever have, since they can be contacted through e-mail using e-mail lists and a competent response will be sent in around 15-20 minutes. The advantage here is that your questions will be replied by the same people who have made the Operating System itself and they have a detailed knowledge of how it functions. As Debian is free, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees to use it and you'll be able to customize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for the Operating System as well as the 30.000+ software packages that are available for it.
Debian in VPS Servers
You will be able to select the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan 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 would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you're able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you are able to manage your online content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have much experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit releases of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you will be able to pick all of them with only a click for your new machine, based on what software environment the applications which you wish to use require for the best performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for less experienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but wish to manage it like a shared web hosting account, whereas the second option is good for more experienced users who wish to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server at all. We can also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, as it features routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
