A virtual or a dedicated hosting machine is a standalone machine, that has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is an essential, though underrated task. Not simply can an update boost the functionality of your sites, but it will also save you a great deal of problems in the future. An update can be released for many different reasons, the most frequent being to fix newly found security holes, which may permit third-party people to access and modify the content that you have on the server. You may also see an improved functionality of your web programs since updates might also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it operates on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. In addition, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they might also require a later Operating system version that will have the needed software dependencies and will permit them to work properly.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you employ one of our Virtual Private Servers, you'll be able to take full advantage of our Managed Services pack, which includes numerous admin tasks that our administrators can perform on your hosting machine. Among them you'll find the Operating System update service, so in the event that you include the pack to your VPS server plan, we will keep your Operating system up-to-date on a regular basis. This is valid for all three Operating Systems that we provide - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. With this service, you won't need to concern yourself with server-side security problems and you can use it if you don't have a lot of experience with maintaining a Linux machine or if you simply do not have time to handle such matters. After every update our admins will make certain that all internet sites and offline applications you have on the hosting server are working properly.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you get one of our dedicated servers and you want to have an up-to-date Os, but you have not managed your own server before and you are not certain how to do that or you simply don't have much time to take care of the server, you can take advantage of the Operating system update service that is included in our Managed Services bundle. Our admins can install the latest patches for the Operating system you have picked for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they will ensure that all your applications are operating correctly after that. The updates are done on a weekly basis, so you'll constantly have the latest Operating System version and you won't need to worry about any OS-related security problems.
