Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its global popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for a lot of server administrators?
Debian is a Linux distribution, which is widespread for desktop machines, yet it has been gaining popularity as a server OS over the last few years too. It is really dependable and safe, due to the fact that fixes are released within a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any questions or issues with the OS or with any of the 30,000+ packages it is equipped with, you're able to contact the developers directly via e-mail using special mailing lists and receive a response in 15-20 minutes. The Debian community provides the top level of support possible, since all your questions will be handled by the very same people who created Debian in the first place, so they have a thorough knowledge of how their system works. Since the Operating System is 100% free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your website hosting fees and you can change the program code files and any additional software which you install without any restrictions, so as to optimize the software environment for your websites. What's more, Debian performs really well on any kind of hardware, as it's light and effective and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you'll be able to select all of them with only a mouse click for your brand new machine, depending on what software environment the applications which you wish to use require for optimal performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be set up on the server or if it should come without a Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for inexperienced users who need a Debian-powered server, but want to manage it like a shared web hosting account, while the second option is suitable for more advanced users who would like to have more control, because ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, and no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We will also save your time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with routine Operating System updates, to ensure that you will have a secure and stable Debian installation.
