If you get a hosting server of your own, it will run independently, so it'll have its own Operating System and you could later install server side apps directly or script-driven internet sites via a hosting Control Panel. Although keeping the Os updated is not always considered an absolute necessity, it can be a rather important task for a number of reasons. A newer Operating system version might have better support for specific hardware, so you might get better performance for the sites and web applications which you install. Your server will also be more safe since updates typically include security patches that deal with small problems which may allow unauthorized people to access your content. Last, but not least, current script versions, which are also released for both increased security and for additional features, might require a later version of the Os in order to work effectively and with their full capabilities.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers
If you want to have the latest version of the Os running on your VPS servers, you are able to leverage the OS update service we offer you as part of our Managed Services upgrade. Our experienced administrators shall install all patches which have been released for the OS which you have picked for your hosting machine - Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS. They will also make sure that there are no problems after the update with any software you have installed on the VPS. The service is carried out on a weekly basis and it's a great opportunity to have a secure and stable hosting server at all times in case you don't have lots of experience to update the Os yourself or you do not have time to take care of the hosting server.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you acquire one of our dedicated servers and you would like to have an up-to-date Operating System, but you have not managed your own hosting machine before and you aren't confident how to do that or you just don't have the required time to deal with the hosting machine, you are able to take advantage of the Operating system update service that is integrated in our Managed Services package. Our admins can install the latest patches for the OS which you have picked for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they will make sure that all of your apps are functioning correctly after that. The updates are done once a week, so you will constantly have the latest Operating System version and you won't need to concern yourself with any OS-related security problems.
