Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on personal computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most safe Operating Systems to choose from, because security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are working for 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 e-mail lists and respond in twenty minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you will receive an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, 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 completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as all the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in Dedicated Hosting
You will be able to choose the Debian Operating System for your new dedicated server with only a click on our order page and based on your choice, we'll set up the 32-bit or the 64-bit release of the OS on the machine, so that the software that you'll install later will perform in the very best way. Selecting a server devoid of Control Panel, you'll get Debian and the Apache web server software and you're able to manage everything using a console. A server that is obtained with our Hepsia Control Panel will feature all of the software that you will need for your websites. Though with the latter option the root access is limited, you'll be able to control the server as if it were a shared web hosting account, so that you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of web hosting service. If you get the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS every week so as to make sure that you have the most recent and most safe edition.
