Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of skilled developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special e-mail lists and reply in 20 min to any question. In this light, you'll receive top-level 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 the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core and all the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you won't have to pay any license fees.

Debian in VPS

You will be able to select the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you can find on the order page, so you can select the one that is more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you can make use of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, but you are able to manage your web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have a lot of time to command your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have much experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Hosting

32-bit and 64-bit editions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you are able to pick any of them with just a click for your brand new machine, based on what software environment the apps which you want to use require for optimal performance. You can also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or if it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is made for less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, but would like to manage it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is good for more advanced users who wish to have more control, due to the fact that ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server at all. We will also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it includes routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
