Debian is a Linux release, which is preffered for desktop machines, however it has been becoming more popular as a server OS over the last couple of years too. It is very stable and safe, since fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so if you have any kind of questions or problems with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it features, you can easily contact the developers without delay via email using special mailing lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community offers the best level of support possible, as your questions will be handled by the same people that created Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their own system operates. Since the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license costs will be added to your web hosting fees and you will be able to modify the program code files and any other software which you install without any restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your web sites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any kind of hardware, as it is light and fast and does not need much memory.

Debian in VPS

You can choose the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, which means that you can select the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either devoid of Control Panel or with our custom Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you will be able to use the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, but you're able to control your web content through a web interface, not a console. If you do not have much time to manage your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have a lot of experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will take care of the weekly 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 only a single click for your new machine, based on what software environment the apps which you want to use require for the best performance. You may also choose if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but would like to manage it like a shared hosting account, while the second option is good for more experienced users who want to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' stands for only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software set up on the server at all. We can also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, since it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a safe and stable Debian installation.
