Debian
See why lots of system administrators head straight for Debian whenever choosing a new OS for their servers.
Debian is a Linux distribution, that's preffered for desktop computers, but it has been gaining popularity as a server OS over the last few years too. It is very stable and safe, due to the fact that fixes are released in a few days after a problem is discovered. Debian has a huge support community, so when you have any questions or troubles with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you are able to contact the developers right away through e-mail using special mailing lists and receive a response in just 15-20 minutes. The Debian community provides the top level of support possible, as all your questions will be handled by the same people that made Debian in the first place, so they have a detailed knowledge of how their system functions. Because the Operating System is absolutely free to use and distribute, no license charges will be added to your web hosting fees and you'll be able to modify the code files and any other software that you install with no restrictions, in order to optimize the software environment for your websites. In addition, Debian performs very well on any kind of hardware, because it's light and efficient and doesn't need much memory.

Debian in VPS Servers
When you need a server running Debian, you can opt for any of the
VPS server plans that we supply and select this Operating System on the order page. You will be able to pick the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release, since we give you the option to choose the right one, based on the software which you wish to install on your server once it's up and running. In case you're more tech-savvy, you can get a Debian-powered VPS with no Control Panel, and you will have full root access and you'll be able to control the content and the software using SSH. If you are less experienced, yet you would like to use an app that requires Debian, you can select the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel on the order page and you'll be able to manage the whole server like a standard shared hosting account. In addition, you can take full advantage of the optional Managed Services upgrade that we provide, because it comes with regular Operating System updates performed by our admins, among various other useful things.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
32-bit and 64-bit versions of Debian are available on our
dedicated server order page and you will be able to pick any of them with only a single click for your brand new machine, based on what software environment the applications which you wish to use require for top notch performance. You can also select whether 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 less experienced users who want a Debian-powered server, yet would like to control it like a shared hosting account, whereas the second option is suitable for more advanced users who wish to have more control, as ‘no Control Panel' means only Debian and the Apache web server software, but no other software set up on the server whatsoever. We will also save you time and effort with the Managed Services upgrade, because it comes with routine Operating System updates, so that you'll have a safe and stable Debian installation.
