A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, that has its own Os and keeping the latter up-to-date is a vital, albeit underrated task. Not simply can an update boost the performance of your sites, but it can also save you a great deal of issues in the future. An update can be released for a variety of reasons, the most widespread being to fix newly discovered security holes, which may allow third-party individuals to access and alter the content that you have on the hosting machine. You will also see an improved overall performance of your web programs as updates might also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it works on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. Furthermore, if you keep your apps up-to-date, they might also need a later Operating system version which will have the necessary software dependencies and will permit them to function adequately.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated web hosting plans and you want to have an up-to-date Operating System, but you have not managed your own hosting server before and you're not sure how to do that or you just don't have much time to deal with the server, you'll be able to take advantage of the OS update service that's included in our Managed Services package. Our administrators can install the latest patches for the OS which you have picked for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they will make sure that your apps are working correctly after that. The updates are carried out once a week, so you will always have the latest Os version and you won't need to stress about any OS-related security problems.
