Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktops, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems in existence, as security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of qualified developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will obtain 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 the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System costs nothing to use, you're able to modify both the core and all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment in detail before we hand over the machine to ensure that it will perform flawlessly. You can select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the signup process, so that the applications that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your Operating System up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you obtain your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you will have to be more experienced, as all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, via which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option if you are not very experienced, but a particular application which you need to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, yet the things which you'll be able to do will be restricted.
