Debian is a Linux distribution, that's widespread for desktop computers, yet it's been gaining in popularity as a server OS over the last couple of years too. It's very dependable and protected, due to the fact that fixes are released in just a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a vast support community, so if you have any kind of questions or issues with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it includes, you will be able to contact the developers straight away via electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community provides the top level of support possible, because all your questions will be handled by exactly the same people that built Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their system functions. Since the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your website hosting fees and you can modify the program code files and any other software that you install without any restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your Internet sites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any hardware, as it is light and quick and does not need much memory.
Debian in VPS Servers
You are able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every VPS server solution that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you can find on the order page, so you can select the one that will be 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 will have more freedom, considering that you will have full root access and you will be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality supplied by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, yet you are able to control your world wide web content through a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to command 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
Each dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we will test the program environment in detail before we hand over the machine so as to make sure that it'll perform properly. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so that the applications that you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your OS up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you obtain your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, yet you'll need to be more skillful, because all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, through which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option in case you aren't very experienced, and a certain app that you wish to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, however the things which you are able to do are limited.
