Debian is a Linux distribution, that is widely used for desktop machines, but it has been gaining in popularity as a server Operating System over the last few years as well. It's really stable and secure, because fixes are released in a few days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it is equipped with, you can contact the developers straight away through email using special e-mail lists and receive a response in just 15-20 min. The Debian community provides the top level of support possible, as your questions will be handled by the same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have a thorough knowledge of how their own system works. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your website hosting fees and you can modify the code files and any other software that you install without restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your web sites. What's more, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, because it is light and quick and doesn't need much memory.
Debian in VPS Web Hosting
You are able to select the Debian Operating System with each virtual private server solution that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are among the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that 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 set up either without any Control Panel or with our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you will be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, however you will be able to control your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to control your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have substantial experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will handle the regular OS updates.
Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each dedicated server that we offer can be set up with Debian and we'll test the program environment in depth before we hand over your server so as to make sure that it will perform properly. You are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so that the apps which you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your OS up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with your machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will have to be more skillful, since all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface, through which you'll be able to control domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option if you aren't very experienced, and a particular application which you intend to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, yet the things which you're able to do are limited.
