A virtual or a dedicated hosting server is a standalone machine, which has its own Os and keeping the latter up-to-date is an important, though underrated task. Not only can an update boost the overall performance of your internet sites, but it can also save you lots of troubles later on. An update may be released for a variety of reasons, the most widespread being to fix newly discovered security holes, which may allow third-party people to access and alter the content which you have on the server. You will also see an improved performance of your web applications because updates can also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it works on in order to get the most out of the hardware. Moreover, if you keep your applications up-to-date, they could need a later Operating system version which will have the needed software dependencies and will allow them to work properly.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you want to have the latest version of the Os running on your VPS servers, you'll be able to leverage the OS update service that we offer you as part of our Managed Services upgrade. Our qualified administrators will set up all patches that have been released for the OS which you have chosen for your hosting machine - Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS. They shall also make sure that there aren't any problems after the update with any software you have installed on the Virtual private server. The service is done every week and it is a great opportunity to have a protected and reliable hosting server at all times in case you do not have a lot of experience to update the Operating System yourself or you don't have time to manage the hosting server.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated servers and you would like to have an up-to-date Os, but you haven't managed your own server before and you're not certain how to do that or you just don't have enough time to deal with the hosting machine, you can take advantage of the Operating system update service which is integrated in our Managed Services bundle. Our admins can install the latest patches for the OS you have chosen for the hosting server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they'll make certain that all your apps are operating correctly after that. The updates are performed once a week, so you will always have the latest Os version and you won't have to bother about any OS-related security problems.
