Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop machines, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and respond within 20 min to any question. Thus, you'll receive top-level 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment completely before we hand over your machine so as to ensure that it will perform properly. You're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the registration process, so the apps which you set up 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. When you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you will need to be more skillful, because all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, through which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be a better option if you are not very experienced, and a certain app which you would like to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, yet the things that you'll be able to do will be restricted.
