A virtual or a dedicated hosting server is a standalone machine, which has its own Operating System and always keeping the latter up-to-date is a vital, albeit underestimated task. Not simply can an update improve the general performance of your sites, but it could also save you a lot of problems in the future. An update may be released for several reasons, the most common being to fix recently found security holes, which may permit third-party people to access and alter the content that you have on the hosting machine. You will also see an improved efficiency of your web applications as updates may also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it works on so as to get the most out of the hardware. Furthermore, if you keep your applications up-to-date, they could also require a later OS version that will have the necessary software dependencies and will enable them to function adequately.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you take advantage of one of our Virtual Private Servers, you can take full advantage of our Managed Services pack, which features a number of administration tasks which our administrators can perform on your hosting server. Among them you'll discover the Os update service, so if you add the pack to your VPS server plan, we will keep your OS up-to-date all the time. This is valid for all three Operating Systems which we provide - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. With this service, you'll not need to worry about server-side security problems and you can employ it if you do not have loads of experience with maintaining a Linux server or if you simply don't have time to handle such matters. After every single update our admins will ensure that all websites and offline apps you have on the hosting machine are functioning properly.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated web hosting plans and you would like to have an up-to-date Operating System, but you have not managed your own server before and you aren't sure how to do that or you just do not have the required time to manage the server, you'll be able to take advantage of the OS update service that's included in our Managed Services package. Our admins can install the latest patches for the OS you have picked for the server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they'll ensure that all of your applications are functioning correctly after that. The updates are performed once a week, so you'll constantly have the latest Operating System version and you will not need to stress about any OS-related security problems.
