Debian
Read why the Debian Linux distribution is really so popular and the reasons why server admins select it for their machines.
Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Even though it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it's very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be among the most risk-free Operating Systems available, due to the fact that security patches are released within days after a problem is discovered. This is possible since thousands of well-trained developers are employed by 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 reply in 20 min to any kind of question. In this light, you will enjoy 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 distributions with the highest number of packages - more than 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you can modify both the core as well as any of the packages in the way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't need to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our dedicated server order page and you're able to choose any of them with only a click for your new server, based on what software environment the apps that you would like to use require for optimal performance. You can also select if our Hepsia Control Panel should be installed on the server or whether it should come with no Control Panel at all. The first option is suitable for less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, but would like to control it like a shared website hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more experienced users who want to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software installed on the server whatsoever. We will also save you time and effort with our Managed Services upgrade, since it features regular Operating System updates, to ensure that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
