Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its level of popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for many server admins?
Debian is a Linux distribution, which is preffered for desktop computers, yet it's been gaining in popularity as a server Operating System over the last few years as well. It is really dependable and protected, due to the fact that 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 any of the 30,000+ packages it features, you'll be able to contact the developers immediately through email using special e-mail lists and receive a reply within 15-20 minutes. The Debian community supplies the best level of support possible, as your questions will be handled by the same people that made Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their own system operates. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license costs will be included with your website hosting fees and you will be able to customize the code files and any other software which you install without any restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your web sites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any hardware, as it is light and effective and doesn't need a lot of memory.

Debian in VPS Hosting
If you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the
virtual private server plans that we offer and pick this Operating System on the order page. You'll be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version, as we give you the option to pick the right one, based on the software that you want to install on your server once it is up and running. When you are more tech-savvy, you may get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, and you will have full root access and you can manage the content and the software through SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an application which requires Debian, you are able to select our Hepsia hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the entire server like a standard shared hosting account. You may also benefit from the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, since it includes weekly Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each and every
dedicated server that we provide can be installed with Debian and we'll test the software environment in depth before we hand over the machine so as to ensure that it will perform properly. You can choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout 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 keep your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you obtain your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, but you'll need to be more skillful, since all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, through which you can manage domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be a better option in case you aren't very experienced, and a certain app which you would like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, but the things which you're able to do are limited.
