Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its worldwide popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for many server administrators?
Debian is a Linux distribution, which is preffered for desktop machines, however it has been becoming more popular as a server Operating System during the last few years as well. It is very dependable and protected, because fixes are released in just a couple of days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any kind of questions or troubles with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it includes, you can easily contact the developers straight away through electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a reply in just 15-20 min. The Debian community offers the best level of support possible, because all your questions will be handled by the same people who created Debian in the first place, so they have an exhaustive knowledge of how their own system works. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your hosting fees and you'll be able to change the program code files and any additional software that you install without restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your web sites. What's more, Debian performs very well on any hardware, because it is light and fast and doesn't require much memory.

Debian in VPS Web Hosting
There are several Operating Systems that we offer with our
VPS web hosting and Debian is among them, so when you'd like to have a server with this Operating System, you will be able to obtain one in less than 1 hour. In addition, we offer 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS to make sure that the VPS you'll obtain will fully cover the system requirements of any web or offline app that you want to install on the server. Controlling the content on the server can be performed in two ways, according to the choice you make on the order page. Without a Control Panel, you will be able to do everything on your Debian-equipped server through Secure Shell, as you will have root-level access, whereas through the Hepsia Control Panel, the root access will have certain limitations, but you can do everything through your web browser using a user-friendly web interface, even when you are not very experienced. With the optional Managed Services package which we supply, we'll also keep your Debian OS updated weekly, saving you time and effort.

Debian in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each
dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment carefully before we hand over your machine to ensure that it'll perform properly. You're able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the sign-up process, so that the applications that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date if you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you acquire your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you want with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, however you will have to be more experienced, since all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you get your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, via which you will be able to control domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be a better option if you aren't very experienced, and a particular app which you want to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, however the things that you'll be able to do are limited.
