Debian is a Linux distribution, that's widely used for desktop machines, however it's been gaining popularity as a server OS during the last couple of years too. It's very dependable and protected, due to the fact that fixes are released in a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so if you have any questions or problems with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it includes, you're able to contact the developers right away through e-mail using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 minutes. The Debian community provides the best level of support possible, since your questions will be handled by the very same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have a thorough knowledge of how their system works. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your website hosting fees and you'll be able to customize the code files and any other software that you install without restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your web sites. What's more, Debian performs very well on any kind of hardware, because it is light and efficient and doesn't need much memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
You'll be able to get a Debian-powered VPS server with any of our VPS plans and you will be able to choose if the version that will be installed during the server setup process should be 32-bit or 64-bit. In this way, you'll ensure that the software environment will match the system requirements of the applications which you wish to run and that the latter will run effectively. During the order process, you may also decide if the VPS will come with our Hepsia Control Panel or with no Control Panel at all. The first option gives you an intuitive graphical interface, via that you are able to control everything related to your world wide web presence using only a web browser - files, emails, databases, etc. Without a Control Panel at hand, you will have to make everything via a console, however you'll have full root access and you'll be able to install any software that may not be supported by Hepsia. In addition, you can add the optional Managed Services package, which includes weekly Operating System updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we will test the program environment thoroughly before we hand over your machine in order to make sure that it will perform perfectly. You can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the sign-up process, so the apps which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. If you obtain your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with the machine and you will have full root-level access, but you'll have to be more experienced, as all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, through which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option if you are not very experienced, but a specific application which you'd like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, but the things that you are able to do are restricted.
