Debian is a Linux distribution, which is widely used for desktop computers, yet it's been becoming more popular as a server OS during the last few years as well. It is really stable and risk-free, as fixes are released within a few days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so if you have any questions or issues with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it comes with, you'll be able to contact the developers straight away via email using special e-mail lists and receive a reply within 15-20 min. The Debian community supplies the top level of support possible, since your questions will be handled by the very same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have an in-depth knowledge of how their system functions. As the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license charges will be included with your hosting fees and you'll be able to change 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 really well on any hardware, because it is light and effective and does not need a lot of memory.
Debian in Dedicated Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we provide can be set up with Debian and we'll test the program environment completely before we hand over the machine so as to make sure that it'll perform perfectly. You'll be able to select the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the sign-up process, so the applications that you install can get the maximum out of your server. We can also maintain your Operating System up-to-date when you add the additional Managed Services package to your plan. In case you order your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you want with the machine and you'll have full root-level access, however you'll have to be more experienced, since 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'll have a web interface, via which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etc, and this might be the best option in case you aren't very experienced, but a specific application which you'd like to use requires Debian. You have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH as well, but the things that you will be able to do are restricted.
