A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, which has its own Os and maintaining the latter up-to-date is an important, though underrated task. Not only can an update improve the functionality of your internet sites, but it can also save you lots of problems down the road. An update can be released for a variety of reasons, the most frequent being to fix newly found security holes, which may permit third-party people to access and modify the content you have on the hosting server. You might also see an improved performance of your web applications since updates could also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it operates on as a way to get the most out of the hardware. Also, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they could also require a later OS version which will have the necessary software dependencies and will permit them to function adequately.
Weekly OS Update in VPS
If you use one of our Virtual Private Servers, you can take full advantage of our Managed Services pack, which features a number of administration tasks our administrators can perform on your hosting machine. Among them you shall find the Operating System update service, so in the event that you add the pack to your virtual private server plan, we'll keep your Operating system up-to-date consistently. This is valid for all three Operating Systems that we provide - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. With this service, you will not have to be concerned about server-side security issues and you can use it if you do not have loads of experience with maintaining a Linux machine or if you simply do not have time to handle such matters. After every update our administrators will make sure that all internet sites and offline apps you have on the server are working properly.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Hosting
If you acquire one of our Linux dedicated hosting services and you wish to have an up-to-date Os, but you have not managed your own hosting server before and you're not sure how to do that or you simply don't have much time to take care of the hosting server, you can take advantage of the Operating system update service that is included in our Managed Services bundle. Our administrators can set up the latest patches for the OS you have picked for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall make sure that all of your apps are working correctly after that. The updates are done each week, so you will always have the latest Operating System version and you will not need to bother about any OS-related security issues.
