Debian is an OS which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on personal computers, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. 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 via special mailing lists and respond in twenty minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you'll have top-notch 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 several Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, 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 machine so as to make sure that it will perform flawlessly. You will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the signup process, so the applications that you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your OS up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you obtain your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you'll have to be more skillful, since all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, through which you'll be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option when you are not very experienced, but a particular application that you would like to use requires Debian. You will have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, yet the things which you'll be able to do will be limited.
