If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will run independently, so it will have its own Os and you'll be able to later install server side applications directly or script-driven sites via a hosting Cp. Though keeping the Operating System updated isn't always considered a necessity, it can be a really important task for a variety of reasons. A newer OS version may have better support for certain hardware, so you could get better performance for the websites and web apps that you install. Your server shall also be more protected since updates typically include security patches that resolve small issues which may enable unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, current script versions, which are also released for both boosted security and for additional features, may require a later version of the Operating System in order to work properly and with their 100 % capabilities.
Weekly OS Update in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated servers and you wish to have an up-to-date Operating System, but you haven't managed your own hosting server before and you aren't sure how to do that or you just do not have enough time to manage the hosting server, you can take advantage of the OS update service that is included in our Managed Services bundle. Our administrators can install the latest patches for the OS which you have selected for the hosting machine - CentOS, Debian or Ubuntu, and they shall make certain that all your apps are operating correctly after that. The updates are performed each week, so you'll constantly have the latest Operating System version and you won't need to stress about any OS-related security problems.
