Debian
Learn why the Debian Linux distribution is so popular and why many server admins pick it for their machines.
Debian is a Linux distribution, that is widely used for desktop machines, but it has been gaining popularity as a server Operating System during the last few years too. It's really dependable and protected, since fixes are released within a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so when you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it includes, you are able to contact the developers directly via electronic mail using special mailing lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community offers the top level of support possible, because all of your questions will be handled by exactly the same people that made Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their system operates. Since the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be included with your hosting fees and you'll be able to modify the code files and any additional software which you install with no restrictions, so as to optimize the software environment for your web sites. What's more, Debian performs very well on any hardware, because it is light and efficient and doesn't require much memory.

Debian in VPS Servers
There're several Operating Systems that we supply with our
VPS servers and Debian is among them, so if you'd like to have a server with this Operating System, you can obtain one in less than one hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to make sure that the VPS you'll receive will fully cover the system requirements of any kind of web or offline application which you intend to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be performed in two ways, based on the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you are able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, while through the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain restrictions, but you will be able to do everything from your browser using a user-friendly web interface, even if you aren't very experienced. When you use the optional Managed Services package that we offer, we'll also maintain your Debian OS updated every week, saving you time and effort.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our
dedicated server order page and you'll be able to select any of them with only a single click for your new server, depending on what software environment the apps that you wish to use require for top notch performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet would like to control it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who would like to have more control, since ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We'll also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, as it features routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
