Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its popularity? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for a lot of server administrators?
Debian is a popular Linux release, that's used mainly on desktop computers, however numerous people have started using it lately as a web server OS too, due to the stability and security it provides. The latter is a result of the fact that Debian is developed and supported by numerous qualified volunteers around the globe, so any patch that is required to fix a certain issue is released within a matter of days. The same community will also help you with any question or issue that a user may ever experience, due to the fact that they can be contacted through email using mailing lists and a competent response will be sent in no more than 15-20 min. The advantage here is that all of your questions will be addressed by the same people who have developed the Operating System itself and they have an in-depth knowledge of how it functions. As Debian is free, you won't have to pay any license fees to use it and you'll be able to customize 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 Dedicated Servers
You can pick the Debian OS for your new dedicated server with a mouse click on our order page and according to your choice, we'll install the 32-bit or the 64-bit edition of the OS on the machine, to ensure that the software that you will install later will perform in the right way. Using a server without Control Panel, you'll receive Debian and the Apache web server software and you are able to control everything using a console. A server that is ordered with the Hepsia Control Panel will feature all the software that you'll need for your websites. Although with the latter option the root access will be limited, you're able to manage the server as if it were a shared hosting account, thus you can take advantage of a dedicated machine even if you have no previous expertise in this type of website hosting service. If you purchase the Managed Services upgrade, we'll maintain your server and will update its OS on a weekly basis in order to ensure that you have the most current and most secure version.
