A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, that has its own Os and maintaining the latter up-to-date is a vital, albeit underestimated task. Not simply can an update boost the performance of your sites, but it will also save you a great deal of troubles in the future. An update may be released for several reasons, the most common being to fix newly identified security holes, which may enable third-party people to access and alter the content that you have on the hosting server. You can also see an improved performance of your web apps as 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. Moreover, if you keep your applications up-to-date, they could also require a later Operating system version that will have the required software dependencies and will permit them to function adequately.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you use one of our Virtual Private Servers, you can benefit from our Managed Services pack, which incorporates a number of administration tasks our administrators can perform on your hosting server. Among them you'll discover the Os update service, so if you add the pack to your VPS server plan, we'll keep your OS up-to-date consistently. This is valid for all three Os's which we provide - CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. With this service, you'll not have to be concerned about server-side security issues and you can employ it if you don't have much experience with maintaining a Linux hosting server or if you simply do not have time to take care of such matters. After each update our administrators will make certain that all websites and offline applications which you have on the hosting machine are operating properly.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
We can keep the Operating System on your dedicated server updated on a weekly basis as part of our Managed Services upgrade, which you can add to your plan whenever you want through your billing Control Panel. The service applies to all Operating Systems which we supply for the servers and our admins will install all software patches that have been officially released as to ensure that you have a stable and risk-free hosting server for your websites. They will also double-check if the software which you have installed is functioning correctly after the update. The service is a superb choice when you don't have lots of experience running your own hosting server or if you simply don't want to waste time on administration tasks.
