Debian is a Linux distribution, which is preffered for desktop machines, yet it's been gaining popularity as a server OS during the last couple of years too. It is really dependable and protected, due to the fact that fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so when you have any questions or problems with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it is equipped with, you will be able to contact the developers directly through email using special e-mail lists and receive a reply in 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, since your questions will be handled by the very same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their own system operates. Since the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license costs will be included with your web hosting fees and you will be able to modify the code files and any other software that you install without any restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your sites. Furthermore, Debian performs really well on any hardware, as it's light and fast and doesn't require much memory.

Debian in VPS Hosting

When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the virtual private server solutions that we provide and select this Operating System on the registration page. You will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, as we give you the option to select the right one, according to the software that you want to install on your server once it's set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you will have full root access and you will be able to control the content and the software using SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an app which requires Debian, you can pick the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can take advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we offer, as it includes weekly Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

You will be able to choose the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our order page and based on your choice, we will install the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you'll install later will work in the best way. Selecting a server devoid of Control Panel, you will receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you'll be able to control everything using a console. A server which is acquired with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you'll need for your web sites. Though with the latter option the root access will be limited, you'll be able to 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 expertise in this type of web hosting service. When you purchase our Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS weekly to ensure that you have the latest and most safe edition.
