Debian Servers

Hi There,

I'm looking for a decent hosting firm that can provide me (ideally) with a Debian server. It seems that most people offer Redhat, which I would rather stay away from. Dependency hell/RPM nastiness is not the sort of thing I am after - I want the power of apt backed up by the debian package database. The other areas I am looking for strength in are:

- Hardware support responsiveness
- Network quality

I am an experienced admin, so management and software support are not so important.

Can anyone recommend me a good firm? Or, if anyone works for a company that could provide me with a quote, that would be great. Looking for something around the 2Ghz/512MB Ram/20GB per month bandwidth area.

Thanks,
Ben

KDA are experts with Debian i believe.. http://www.kdawebservices.com - Karl on these forums runs it. I'm pretty sure you won't find a bad review of KDA anywhere.

Can this be moved to the Requests Forum please so that we can make offers?

Ben,

We recently switched from Redhat to Debian as our preferred distro of choice, and now we won't install anything *but* Debian except for managed server clients. We're also running a special offer at the moment which I think would be suitable for your needs:

Intel Celeron 2.4ghz
512mb DDR RAM
80gb 7200rpm HDD
Debian Stable (2.4.18 kernel)
50gb bandwidth/month
£99 setup
£59/month
(all ex VAT)

If you want a beefier system, we can upgrade you to a 2.67ghz P4 and 1024mb DDR for just £10/month extra.

How's CPanel/WHM on Debian coming along? Cpanel.net shows it as still in beta. Anyone using the beta and care to say how it's performing?
