Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on personal computers, it is 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 regarded as being among the most secure Operating Systems you can get, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers are part of 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 mailing lists and reply in twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll get an outstanding level of 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 completely free to use, you will be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Also, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS Servers

When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the VPS server packages that we provide and select this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to pick the right one, according to the software which you'd like to install on your server once it's up and running. If you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you'll have full root access and you'll be able to control the content and the software through SSH. If you are less experienced, but you'd like to use software which requires Debian, you can select the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also benefit from the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it comes with weekly Operating System updates done by our admins, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to pick the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with a single click on our order page and according to your choice, we will set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will work in the very best way. Choosing a server without any Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to manage everything through a console. A server that is obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you'll need for your web sites. Although with the latter option the root access is restricted, you'll be able to control the server as if it were a shared hosting account, so you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you don't have previous expertise in this type of hosting service. If you purchase our Managed Services upgrade, we will take care of your server and will update its OS every week to make sure that you have the most recent and most secure version.
