Debian is a Linux release, that is widely used for desktop machines, yet it has been gaining in popularity as a server Operating System over the last few years as well. It's very dependable and risk-free, as fixes are released in a few days after an issue 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 comes with, you are able to contact the developers directly 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 your questions will be handled by exactly the same people who built Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their system operates. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be included with your website hosting fees and you'll be able to change the code files and any additional software that you install with no restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your Internet sites. In addition, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, because it is light and effective and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
You're able to choose the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we offer. 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 pick the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you are able to use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, however you will be able to control your website content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have substantial experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators 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 just a click for your brand new server, based on what software environment the applications which you would like to use require for top notch performance. You can also choose if 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 less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet wish to manage it like a shared hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more advanced users who would like 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'll also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, as it comes with routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a secure and stable Debian installation.
