Debian is an Operating System that uses the Linux kernel. Though it is usually set up on desktop machines, it is being used on an increasing number of web servers as well. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it won't need to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most secure Operating Systems to be found, since security patches are released within days after an issue is discovered. This is possible since thousands of skilled developers are employed by the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, in addition, they provide 24/7 support via special mailing lists and reply in 20 minutes to any kind of question. In this light, you'll 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 - more than 30,000. Since the Operating System is free to use, you are able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Furthermore, you won't be required to pay any license fees.

Debian in Dedicated Web Hosting

Each and every dedicated server that we supply can be installed with Debian and we will test the program environment thoroughly before we hand over the machine so as to ensure that it'll perform appropriately. You can pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so that the apps which you set up can get the maximum out of your server. We will also keep your Operating System up-to-date if you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you get your Debian-driven server without a web hosting Control Panel, you can do anything you like with your machine and you will have full root-level access, yet you will need to be more skillful, because all the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. If you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you will receive a web interface, through which you can control domains, files, databases, and many others, and this might be the best option in case you aren't very experienced, and a particular app that you would like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server through SSH as well, yet the things which you are able to do are limited.
