Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop computers, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most protected Operating Systems out there, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of experienced developers are working for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support by using special mailing lists and respond within 20 min to any question. Thus, you will have top-notch 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 the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System costs nothing to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you will not have to pay any license fees.
Debian in VPS Web Hosting
You are able to choose the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server plan that we offer. 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the OS are some of the options that you will find on the order page, so you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you'd like to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our in-house made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, because you will have full root access and you'll be able to make use of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is limited, however you can control your website content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to command your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have much experience, you're able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your package and our administrators will handle the regular OS updates.
