If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will work independently, so it'll have its own Os and you could later install server side programs directly or script-driven websites through a hosting Cp. While keeping the Os updated isn't always considered a necessity, it can be a really important task for a variety of reasons. A more modern Operating system version might have better support for certain hardware, so you could get better performance for the sites and web apps that you install. Your server shall also be more protected because updates normally include security patches which take care of small issues which may permit 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, may require a later version of the Os in order to work effectively and with their 100 % capabilities.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated servers and you would like to have an up-to-date Os, but you have not managed your own server before and you aren't certain how to do that or you simply do not have the required time to manage the server, you'll be able to take advantage of the Operating system update service that is integrated in our Managed Services bundle. Our administrators can set up the latest patches for the Operating system which you have chosen for the hosting server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall ensure that all your applications are working correctly after that. The updates are done once a week, so you'll always have the latest Os version and you won't have to bother about any OS-related security problems.
