If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will run independently, so it'll have its own Os and you'll be able to later install server side applications directly or script-driven websites through a hosting Cp. While keeping the Operating System updated is not always considered a necessity, it can be a rather important task for a number of reasons. A newer OS version may have better support for certain hardware, so you could get better performance for the websites and web applications that you install. Your server will also be more protected since updates typically include security patches that take care of small problems that may enable unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, more recent script versions, which are also released for both enhanced security and for additional features, might require a later version of the Operating System in order to work effectively and with their full capabilities.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you select one of our VPS servers plans but you don't have much time to handle the hosting machine maintenance or you are not quite experienced, you can take full advantage of the Managed Services upgrade which we offer you. Amongst other things, our admins will take care of the Os updates for you, so you'll consistently have a secure and reliable server. The updates are done on a weekly basis and after each our technical support support will make sure that any piece of software set up on the hosting server is operating properly so as to avoid any incompatibility problems later on. You could use the Managed services upgrade and the Os update service for every Operating system that we offer you - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you get one of our dedicated servers and you wish to have an up-to-date Operating System, 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 enough time to take care of the server, you are able to take advantage of the OS update service that's included in our Managed Services pack. Our admins can set up the latest patches for the OS that you have picked for the server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall make certain that all of your apps are functioning correctly after that. The updates are performed every week, so you'll always have the latest Os version and you will not need to concern yourself with any OS-related security problems.
