Debian Dedicated Servers
I have been an M5 customer for over 10 years. Their technical expertise, dedication and attention to detail, and personal service is first-rate.
Debian Dedicated Servers
Have your own ultra-stable Debian dedicated server on hardware or a VM in our cloud. You are root, do whatever you want with it. No minimum term, no setup fee.
Debian is famous for it’s “apt” package manager, and a huge library of pre-compiled packages (over 15,000). It is very easy to install, update and remove software in your Debian system. Debian is Open Source software and the Debian operating system is free of cost. In practical use, it is perfect for the person that wants the stability but does not require the commercial support and cost that commercial products offer. Debian also features a social contract that you can review.

Our standard Debian dedicated server platform is a high-performance, 1U or 2U high Supermicro chassis with your choice of processors such as Intel Dual-core and single or dual Intel Xeon. We have dedicated servers available from 4GB of RAM to 512GB of RAM. All of our dedicated servers have switched 1Gbps (1Gbit) Ethernet connections. Customized configurations are available with larger amounts of RAM or 10Gbits network. We can also colocate your provided hardware. Other dedicated server hardware configurations are available.
All our Dedicated Servers are monitored for availability (pinged every 5 minutes). In the event that your server goes down, you will be paged and/or e-mailed at the same time as our NOC. This web-based system can also give you uptime statistics and you can review historical monitoring data for your servers. We can also monitor network-based services such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3, DNS, and others on your server for availability.
Web-based Availability, Performance & Bandwidth Monitoring
Each and every switch port on our network is monitored for bandwidth, errors, discards and other anomalies. You have 24×7 web-based access to graphs that detail your bandwidth utilization by speed, and data transfer over time. You can also monitor your server health (CPU, disk use, memory, disk I/O, system load average). As an additional service, we can set alerts for you if thresholds are exceeded.
The facility is staffed 24×7 and is serviced with redundant air, power and network. We share the facility with some of America’s top financial institutions, government contractors, biotech and research organizations, hosting companies and network security companies.
