Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really 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 out there, because security patches are released within days after an issue is found. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special e-mail lists and respond within 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll obtain top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you're able to modify both the core and any of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting

Each dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we will test the program environment thoroughly before we hand over the machine in order to make sure that it will perform flawlessly. You are able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so the apps that you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your OS up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. If you get your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you like with the machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you will need to be more experienced, because all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, through which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option if you are not very experienced, and a certain app which you'd like to use requires Debian. You can access your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH as well, but the things that you can do are limited.
