Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its worldwide popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for a lot of server admins?
Debian is a popular Linux distribution, that's used primarily on desktop machines, but many people have started using it lately as a web server OS as well, due to the stability and protection it provides. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by a large number of qualified volunteers worldwide, so that any patch that is needed to fix some issue is released within a few days. The same community can also help you with any question or problem that a user may ever encounter, because they can be contacted via e-mail using mailing lists and a competent response will be sent in around 15-20 min. The advantage here is that all your queries will be addressed by the same people who have made the Operating System itself and they have a detailed knowledge of how it works. As Debian is provided for free, you will not need to pay any license fees to use it and you can personalize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for both the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages which are readily available for it.

Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the
VPS server plans that we supply and pick this Operating System on the order page. You can pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to select the right one, depending on the software that you'd like to install on your server once it's set up. When you are more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, so that you will have full root access and you'll be able to manage the content and the software via SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you'd like to use software which requires Debian, you will be able to choose our Hepsia website hosting Control Panel on the order page and you will be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. You can also take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we supply, since it includes once a week Operating System updates done by our admins, among many other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each and every
dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we will test the software environment in detail before we hand over the machine in order to ensure that it'll perform appropriately. You're able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian version throughout the sign-up process, so that the apps that you install will be able to get the maximum out of your server. We will also maintain your OS up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. If you get your Debian-driven server without a hosting Control Panel, you'll be able to do anything you want with the machine and you will have full root-level access, but you will need to be more skillful, as all the tasks will be performed using a Secure Shell console. When you order your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you'll have a web interface, via which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option in case you aren't very experienced, and a certain application which you would like to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, however the things that you're able to do will be limited.
