Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on personal computers, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is really stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also regarded as being one of the most risk-free Operating Systems nowadays, because security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible because thousands of well-experienced developers are part of the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and respond in 20 min to any question. Thus, you will get top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in detail, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also among the Linux distributions with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as all of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
With each of our dedicated web hosting plans, you'll be able to obtain a hosting powerhouse running Debian without delay. This Operating System is one of the options that you'll get throughout the registration process and you'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit release, depending on what software environment your applications need. If you would like to have full root access, you'll be able to acquire a server with no Control Panel, so you will have more freedom when it comes to what you can do with the machine through SSH. In case you have less experience, yet you need Debian for a particular piece of software, you're able to obtain the server with our Hepsia Control Panel. Although the root access will be more limited, you're able to do anything related to your online content easily by means of an intuitive graphical interface. When you add the optional Managed Services bundle to your dedicated server package, our system administrators will handle the weekly OS enhancements. They'll perform some other useful tasks for your benefit too.
