Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on personal computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is 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 risk-free Operating Systems to be found, 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, in addition, they provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you'll have top-notch support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core and all the packages in the way you see fit. In addition, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment thoroughly before we hand over your machine to make sure that it will perform perfectly. You are able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release throughout the sign-up process, so that the applications which you set up will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you order your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, however you will need 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 website hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface, through which you'll be able to control domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be a better option in case you are not very experienced, but a particular app that you would like to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, but the things which you can do will be limited.
