Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually installed on desktop machines, it's being used on more and more web servers too. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most protected Operating Systems in existence, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, but they also provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and respond in 20 minutes to any question. Thus, you will 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 releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. Since the Operating System is completely free to use, you'll be able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. In addition, you will not be required to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Hosting
You will be able to select the Debian Operating System with each and every virtual private server package that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit releases 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 install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either with no Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you can make use of the advantages and the full functionality offered by Debian. In the second case, the root access will be limited, yet you will be able to manage your website content through a web interface, not a console. If you don't have a lot of time to manage your Debian-powered server, or if you don't have a lot of experience, you are able to add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will take care of the regular OS updates.
