Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems out there, 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 employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and respond in 20 min to any kind of question. Thus, you will enjoy 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
You can choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with just a mouse click on our registration page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on your machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the optimal way. Selecting a server with no Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to manage everything using a console. A server that is acquired with the Hepsia Control Panel will include all the software which you'll need for your sites. Even though with the latter option the root access will be restricted, you can manage the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous experience with this kind of web hosting service. When you order the Managed Services upgrade, we will maintain your server and will update its OS every week to ensure that you have the most current and most risk-free edition.
