Ask your hosting provider.

Ah, sure. Thanks !

EDIT: They told me that they will change in 2 days. Is it normal?

They're having to wipe the drive and reinstall a new OS. Some hosts actually charge for this, so as long as you're not in any hurry, 2 days should be alright. Though make sure if you put any data on the server that you need, that you make a backup of it.

Nope It is all Ok, I think is normal cause they should have more work, 2 days is enough, but 2 DAYS. I have only 2 days of server, I don't like CentOS for my little gaming server. Thanks ! =]

You need to make sure you change your directadmin license to debian too. If it came with your server then your hosting provider should do this for you.
