Debian
See why a lot of system administrators head straight for Debian when selecting a new OS for their servers.
Debian is a well-known Linux distribution, that's used primarily on PC's, still many people have begun using it lately as a web server Operating System too, because of the stability and protection it supplies. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by countless qualified volunteers worldwide, so that any patch that is needed to fix a particular issue is released within a few days. The very same community will also help you with any question or problem that a user may ever have, because they can be contacted via e-mail using e-mail lists and a qualified response will be sent in no more than 15-20 minutes. The advantage here is that all your queries will be addressed by the same people who have developed the Operating System itself and they have an in-depth knowledge of how it works. As Debian is absolutely free, you will not have to pay any license fees to use it and you will be able to customize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages which are available for it.

Debian in VPS Hosting
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the
virtual private server solutions that we supply and select this Operating System on the registration page. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, because we give you the option to select the right one, according to the software that you would like to install on your server once it's set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS without a Control Panel, so you'll have full root access and you can control the content and the software using SSH. In case you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use an application which requires Debian, you are able to choose our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you can manage the entire server like a standard shared web hosting account. In addition, you can reap the benefits of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, as it features once a week Operating System updates performed by our administrators, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each
dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we will test the software environment thoroughly before we hand over the machine so as to make sure that it will perform flawlessly. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version during the signup process, so that the apps which you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We can also keep your OS up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you order your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you want with the machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you will have to be more skillful, as all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you'll receive a web interface, through which you can manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be a better option if you are not very experienced, but a particular app that you'd like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, however the things which you're able to do will be restricted.
