A virtual or a dedicated hosting machine is a standalone machine, which has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is an important, albeit underestimated task. Not simply can an update improve the performance of your websites, but it will also save you a great deal of troubles down the road. An update may be released for a number of reasons, the most common being to fix recently identified security holes, which may permit third-party people to access and change the content that you have on the hosting server. You might also see an improved overall performance of your web applications because updates might also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it functions on in order to get the most out of the hardware. Also, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they could also need a later OS version that will have the required software dependencies and will permit them to operate properly.

Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you get one of our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages and you would like to have an up-to-date Os, but you have not managed your own server before and you aren't certain how to do that or you simply don't have enough time to manage the server, you'll be able to take advantage of the OS update service that's integrated in our Managed Services package. Our administrators can install the latest patches for the OS which you have chosen for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall make certain that all of your applications are working correctly after that. The updates are performed on a weekly basis, so you'll always have the latest Operating System version and you will not need to worry about any OS-related security issues.
