A virtual or a dedicated hosting server is a standalone machine, which has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is a vital, albeit underestimated task. Not simply can an update enhance the functionality of your sites, but it could also save you a lot of problems later on. An update may be released for a variety of reasons, the most common being to fix newly discovered security holes, which may allow third-party people to access and modify the content you have on the server. You will also see an improved overall performance of your web apps as updates could also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it functions on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. In addition, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they may also need a later OS version which will have the needed software dependencies and will allow them to function properly.

We provide weekly Operating System updates as a part of our Managed Services pack, so in the event that you have a virtual private servers from our company and you include this upgrade to your plan, our system administrators will make sure that you have the most up-to-date version of the OS installed on your hosting server at all times. They'll also double-check any web or offline software running on the VPS after the update in order to make sure that all things are functional. The update service might be used for any of the three Operating Systems which you could pick for your server - Ubuntu, Debian and CentOS. This way you are able to enjoy a stable and secure software environment in the event that you aren't really tech-savvy or in case you do not have much time to take care of the server.

If you acquire one of our dedicated hosting and you want to have an up-to-date Os, but you have not managed your own hosting machine before and you are not confident how to do that or you simply don't have much time to manage the hosting server, you'll be able to take advantage of the OS update service which is integrated in our Managed Services bundle. Our administrators can install the latest patches for the Operating system that you have chosen for the server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they'll make sure that all of your apps are working correctly after that.
