Known to be a secure and stable Linux distribution, Debian GNU/Linux is among the favorites of experienced users. Package management is achieved with the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) system.
There are more than 15490 packages available, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. This lends itself to quick and reliable deployment of services and applications.

Below are some examples of common software our customers are running in their VPSs:
Every Debian VPS is provisioned with a static IPv6 address in addition to a static IPv4 address. This allows all IPv6 compatible applications and services running in the VPS to be accessible to clients on native (or tunneled) IPv6 networks.
With IPv4 address space depleting fast, be ahead of the transition to IPv6.
