Debian VPS Hosting

Choose Debian 13 for a new project. It is the current stable release, receiving active security updates and the latest software packages. Debian 12 has transitioned to oldstable. While still secure and supported for a few more years, it only gets critical bug fixes. If your application relies on older libraries that haven't been updated yet, Debian 12 is a safe fallback. However, for maximum performance, modern tool compatibility, and long-term viability, starting with Debian 13 gives you the best foundation. It ensures you won't need to plan another major OS migration anytime soon.

Yes, you can migrate your project to our infrastructure. However, we need to address the operating system. Debian 10 has been completely unsupported for years, with zero security patches available. Running it online is a massive security risk. We strongly advise against deploying a Debian 10 instance. Instead, provision a new Debian 13 or 12 VPS with us. You can use tools like rsync to transfer your files and databases. If your legacy code breaks on a newer OS, we recommend refactoring it or using Docker containers to isolate the old dependencies safely.

You receive full root access immediately after provisioning your server. We send the root credentials to your registered email. Use the provided IP address to connect. Log in via SSH using a terminal or PuTTY. Enter the root username and initial password. Change the default password right after your first login. You can also set up SSH key authentication. Root access lets you modify any system file. You maintain total control over the entire environment.

Debian is known for extreme stability and a minimal base installation. It uses fewer system resources out of the box. This leaves more RAM for your applications. Ubuntu is based on Debian but includes extra packages. CentOS shifted to a rolling release model recently. Debian offers a highly predictable point-release cycle. The APT package manager works flawlessly here. It provides a clean slate for system administrators. You build exactly the stack you need without bloat.

Yes, you can install Plesk and other control panels on your Debian VPS. Plesk officially supports Debian environments. You just need a fresh OS installation. Download the installer script from the official website. Run the script via your root SSH session. The installer configures the web server automatically. Panels like ispmanager or CyberPanel also work well. Ensure your VPS has enough RAM to run the panel smoothly. We recommend at least 2GB of RAM for Plesk.

Docker is fully supported on our Debian VPS environments. You can install the official Docker Engine directly from their repository. Debian provides all necessary kernel modules for containerization. Update your package list and install the required dependencies. Run the official Docker installation script to get started. You can pull images and run containers immediately. Docker runs natively without performance overhead on a KVM-based VPS. It is the perfect environment for modern containerized applications.

Connecting via SSH is straightforward. Open your terminal on Linux or Mac. Use PuTTY if you are on Windows. Type the SSH command followed by your root username and server IP. Enter your password when prompted. If you configured SSH keys, the connection happens automatically. Make sure port 22 is open in your firewall. We recommend disabling password authentication later. Using SSH keys provides much better security for your server.

You can easily host multiple websites on a single Debian VPS. You just need to configure your web server properly. Nginx and Apache both support virtual hosting out of the box. Create separate configuration files for each domain. Point the DNS records to your VPS IP address. Allocate specific document roots for every site. This keeps your projects completely isolated. You can run different PHP versions for each website using PHP-FPM pools.

The APT package manager handles software installation and dependency resolution automatically. You do not need to compile programs from source code. Just type the install command followed by the package name. APT downloads the software and all required libraries from official repositories. It verifies digital signatures to ensure package integrity. Updating your entire system takes a single command. APT also safely removes unused dependencies when you uninstall software. It makes system administration incredibly efficient.

You can run PostgreSQL on your Debian VPS. Debian repositories include the latest stable versions of the database. Install it using the APT package manager. The installation process automatically creates the database cluster and configures the service. You can start managing your databases immediately. PostgreSQL integrates perfectly with the Debian ecosystem. You can easily configure automated daily backups using cron jobs. It provides excellent performance and reliability for your data-driven applications.
