Debian is a Linux distribution, that's preffered for desktop machines, yet it's been becoming more popular as a server Operating System over the last couple of years as well. It is really dependable and protected, since fixes are released in a few days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any kind of questions or troubles with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you're able to contact the developers right away via email using special e-mail lists and receive a reply in 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the top level of support possible, because all of your questions will be handled by the same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their system works. As the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your website hosting fees and you will be able to modify the code files and any additional software which you install without any restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your web sites. Furthermore, Debian performs very well on any hardware, because it's light and efficient and doesn't need much memory.

Debian in VPS Servers

There are a few Operating Systems that we offer with our Linux VPS web hosting plans and Debian is one of them, therefore when you need a server with this OS, you'll be able to have one in under one hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS to ensure that the VPS you'll receive will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline application which you intend to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be performed in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you can do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you'll have root-level access, while using the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have some restrictions, but you will be able to do everything through your Internet browser using an intuitive web interface, even when you are not very experienced. With the optional Managed Services package that we offer, we'll also keep your Debian OS updated weekly, saving you effort and time.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a single click on our order page and according to your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on your machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will work in the best way. With a server without Control Panel, you will get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything using a console. A server that's obtained with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all of the software which you may need for your websites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you're able to manage the server as if it were a shared website hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this type of web hosting service. If you get the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS weekly so as to make sure that you have the most current and most safe release.
