Debian
See why a lot of system admins head straight for Debian every time choosing a new OS for their servers.
Debian is a preferred Linux release, that's used mainly on desktop machines, but many people have started using it lately as a web server OS too, because of the stability and security it supplies. The latter is a direct result the fact that Debian is developed and supported by thousands of qualified volunteers worldwide, therefore any patch that is needed to fix a particular issue is released in a couple of days. The very same community will also help with any question or problem which a user may ever experience, due to the fact that they can be contacted through e-mail using e-mail lists and a competent response will be sent in no more than 15-20 min. The advantage here is that your queries will be addressed by the same people who have made the Operating System itself and they have a detailed knowledge of how it works. As Debian is provided for free, you will not need to pay any kind of license fees to use it and you can personalize it as much as you want or need. This is valid for the Operating System and the 30.000+ software packages which are readily available for it.

Debian in VPS Servers
You are able to select the Debian Operating System with each
VPS server plan that we provide. 32-bit and 64-bit releases of the OS are some of the options that you'll find on the order page, so you can pick the one that will be more suitable for the software that you need to set up and run later. A Debian-powered VPS can be installed either without Control Panel or with our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel. In the first case, you'll have more freedom, since you will have full root access and you can use the advantages and the full functionality provided by Debian. In the second case, the root access is restricted, yet you will be able to control your world wide web content via a web interface, not a console. If you do not have much time to take care of your Debian-powered server, or in case you don't have a lot of experience, you could add the Managed Services upgrade to your plan and our administrators will take care of the regular OS updates.

Debian in Dedicated Servers
Each
dedicated server that we offer can be installed with Debian and we will test the program environment in detail before we hand over your machine to ensure that it'll perform properly. You'll be able to choose the 32-bit or the 64-bit Debian release during the registration process, so the apps which you install will be able to 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. If you get your Debian-driven server without a website hosting Control Panel, you will be able to do anything you like with your machine and you'll have full root-level access, however you will have to be more experienced, as all of the tasks will be performed through a Secure Shell console. When you obtain your Debian-driven server with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you'll get a web interface, via which you will be able to manage domains, files, databases, etcetera, and this might be the best option when you are not very experienced, but a specific app which you need to use requires Debian. You'll have access to your Hepsia-equipped server via SSH too, however the things that you are able to do will be restricted.
