Debian
To what does the Debian OS owe its recognition? What has made it the Linux distribution of choice for countless server administrators?
Debian is an Operating System which uses the Linux kernel. Although it is usually installed on desktops, it's being used on a growing number of web servers too. The reason is that it is very stable, so a server running it will not have to be restarted for months. Debian is also considered to be one of the most protected Operating Systems available, since security patches are released within days after a problem is found. This is possible because thousands of well-trained developers work for the Debian project on a voluntary basis and not only do they work on the OS itself, they also provide 24/7 support through special mailing lists and respond within 20 minutes to any kind of question. Thus, you will get top-level support directly from the developers who know their own platform in depth, and not from a third-party support team. Debian is also one of the Linux releases with the highest number of packages - over 30,000. As the Operating System is absolutely free to use, you're able to modify both the core as well as any of the packages in any way you see fit. Also, you will not have to pay any kind of license fees.
Debian in VPS Servers
You'll be able to select the Debian Operating System with each VPS server plan that we supply. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are among the options that you can find on the order page, so you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you would like to install and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be set up either without any Control Panel or with our tailor-made Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you will have more freedom, due to the fact that you will have full root access and you'll be able to take advantage of the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, but you can control your website content through a web interface, not a console. In case you don't have much time to maintain your Debian-powered server, or if you do not have substantial experience, you can add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our admins will handle the weekly OS updates.
