Debian is an OS that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it is being used on a growing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's really stable, so a server running it won't have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems in existence, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible since thousands of well-experienced developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you'll enjoy an outstanding level of support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of several Linux distributions 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 all the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any kind of license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each dedicated server that we supply can be set up with Debian and we will test the program environment thoroughly before we hand over your server to make sure that it will perform flawlessly. You're able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release throughout the signup process, so that the apps that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your Operating System up-to-date when you add the optional Managed Services package to your plan. When you order your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you like with the machine and you will have full root-level access, however you will have to be more skillful, as all of the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. If you acquire your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you will have a web interface, via which you'll be able to control domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option in case you aren't very experienced, and a particular application which you'd like to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH too, however the things that you can do will be restricted.
