Every virtual or dedicated hosting server has its own Os and operates independently from the hosting machines of other clients. Updating the OS is usually ignored, but doing that could have lots of advantages for your sites. The most important reason to use the newest version is that patches are usually released to deal with security holes inside the Operating System code, so if you do not install the updates, you risk people with malicious intentions to take advantage of these holes and to get access to your content. Operating system updates are also released for much better functionality of the system overall and for far better compatibility with the hardware on the market, which can directly influence the efficiency of your sites. If the functionality and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you may also discover that their newest versions require an updated Operating System so as to function properly, therefore keeping the Operating system up-to-date is always a good idea.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you opt for one of our VPS servers plans but you don't have much time to handle the server maintenance or you're not quite experienced, you can take full advantage of the Managed Services upgrade that we offer. Among other things, our administrators will take care of the Operating System updates for you, so you'll always have a secure and efficient server. The updates are done on a weekly basis and after each of them our technical support support will make sure that any piece of software set up on the server is operating properly in order to avoid any incompatibility problems down the road. You could use the Managed services upgrade and the Os update service for every OS that we offer you - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
We can keep the Os on your dedicated server updated on a weekly basis as a part of our Managed Services upgrade, that you will be able to add to your plan at any time through your billing Control Panel. The service applies to all Operating Systems we offer for the hosting servers and our administrators will install all software patches that have been officially released so as to make sure that you have a stable and secure machine for your internet sites. They shall also double-check if the software that you have installed is operating adequately after the update. The service is a great choice if you don't have lots of experience running your own server or if you simply don't want to lose time on administration tasks.
