Debian is a Linux release, which is widely used for desktop computers, but it has been becoming more popular as a server OS during the last few years too. It is very stable and safe, due to the fact that fixes are released in a couple of days after an issue is discovered. Debian has a large support community, so if you have any kind of questions or problems with the OS or with some of the 30,000+ packages it is equipped with, you are able to contact the developers immediately through electronic mail using special e-mail lists and receive a response in 15-20 minutes. The Debian community offers the top level of support possible, as your questions will be handled by the same people who made Debian in the first place, so they have a thorough knowledge of how their own system operates. Because the Operating System is free to use and distribute, no license charges will be included with your hosting fees and you can customize the program code files and any additional software that you install without restrictions, to optimize the software environment for your web sites. What's more, Debian performs very well on any kind of hardware, as it's light and quick and does not require a lot of memory.
