Who's using Debian

Organisation: S4 Hosting, Lithuania

Type: Commercial

Home page: https://s-4.host

We are an ethical and sustainable hosting company and until recently 
we've run most of our web servers on CentOS, together with a mixture of 
other distros for things like mail servers and backup servers.

Over the last year as our company has grown a bit and with the changes 
to the release models for CentOS we have been actively looking for a new 
solution and planned to bring all of our servers onto one common Linux 
distro. We have done a lot of research and built a lot of test servers 
and ended up at the decision that Debian is definitely the best choice 
for us, and we are migrating everything over to Debian based servers.

Open source software has been at the centre of our ethos since the 
beginning but is something that we are becoming more and more focused on 
over time. Where that can be open source projects that are run by 
foundations or other communities without being dependent on or owned by 
a commercial company then so much the better, and nothing can compare to 
Debian in this regard.

Since we are hosting client sites and production mail servers, security 
and stability are also hugely important to us and again we haven't found 
anything else that can match Debian when it comes to stability.
