Read why the Debian Linux distribution is really so popular and the reasons why server admins pick it for their servers.
Debian is a Linux distribution, that is widely used for desktop machines, but it's been gaining popularity as a server OS over the last few years as well. It is very dependable and safe, as fixes are released within a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any kind of questions or problems with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you can easily contact the developers right away via email using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 min. The Debian community provides the best level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by exactly the same people who created Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their system works. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your web hosting fees and you'll be able to modify the code files and any additional software that you install without restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your Internet sites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any hardware, as it is light and effective and does not require a lot of memory.
You're able to select the Debian Operating System with each VPS server package that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you will find on the order page, so you can select the one that is more suitable for the software that you need to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either without any Control Panel or with our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, as you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be restricted, but you will be able to manage your website content via a web interface, not a console. In case you do not have a lot of time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or in case you do not have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the weekly OS updates.
With our dedicated web hosting plans, you can have a web hosting powerhouse running Debian in no time. This Operating System is one of the options that you'll get throughout the registration process and you will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, depending on what software environment your apps need. If you would like to have full root access, you'll be able to order a server without a Control Panel, so you'll have more freedom with regard to what you can do with the machine through SSH. If you have less experience, yet you need Debian for a certain piece of software, you're able to order the server with our Hepsia Control Panel. Though the root access is more limited, you're able to do anything related to your web content with ease employing an intuitive graphical interface. If you add the optional Managed Services bundle to your dedicated server package, our sysadmins will handle the weekly OS enhancements. They'll perform various other important tasks for you as well.
