Each and every virtual or dedicated hosting machine has its own Operating System and functions separately from the hosting machines of other customers. Updating the Operating system is usually overlooked, but doing that might have a wide range of benefits for your websites. The most essential reason to use the most recent version is that patches are typically released to fix security holes in the Os code, so if you don't install the updates, you risk people with destructive intentions to exploit these holes and to get access to your content. OS updates are also released for enhanced efficiency of the system as a whole and for far better compatibility with the hardware available on the market, which could instantly impact the functionality of your websites. If the efficiency and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you could also discover that their latest versions require an updated Os to be able to work effectively, so keeping the OS up-to-date is always a good idea.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
In case you have a dedicated server from our company, we can update its Operating System for you as part of our Managed Services upgrade, so if you have more important things to do or you are simply not tech-savvy and you are not positive how to do this, we can take care of this task. Our admins will do the necessary to set up the latest update to the Operating System working on your server with no service disruptions and will ensure that your websites and any other apps that you have set up are working effectively once they're done with the update. You can get the Managed Services upgrade during the signup or from your billing Cp and have your OS updated once a week for a more secure software environment for your sites.
