Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being among the most safe Operating Systems to choose from, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of qualified developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and respond within twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will get top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment in depth before we hand over your server so as to ensure that it will perform perfectly. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so that the apps which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you'll have to be more experienced, because all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, through which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option if you are not very experienced, but a certain app that you would like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, however the things which you will be able to do are restricted.
