Every virtual or dedicated server has its own Os and works separately from the hosting machines of other customers. Updating the Operating system is frequently overlooked, but doing that could have quite a lot of benefits for your websites. The most important reason to use the latest version is that patches are usually released to fix security holes within the Operating System code, so if you do not install the updates, you risk people with malicious intentions to exploit these holes and to get access to your content. Operating system updates are also released for enhanced functionality of the system in general and for better compatibility with the hardware on the market, which could instantly impact the functionality of your sites. If the efficiency and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you might also know that their latest versions require an updated Operating System so as to operate properly, so keeping the OS up-to-date is always wise.
Weekly OS Update in VPS Servers

The updates are done on a weekly basis and after each of them our technical support support will make sure that any piece of software set up on the hosting machine is functioning adequately in order to avoid any incompatibility problems down the road. You'll be able to use the Managed services upgrade and the Os update service for each and every Operating system that we offer - Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you get one of our dedicated servers and you want to have an up-to-date Operating System, but you have not managed your own hosting server before and you are not certain how to do that or you simply do not have much time to manage the server, you can take advantage of the Operating system update service that is included in our Managed Services package. Our administrators can install the latest patches for the OS which you have chosen for the server - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall ensure that your apps are functioning correctly after that. The updates are performed once a week, so you will constantly have the latest Operating System version and you'll not need to worry about any OS-related security problems.
