A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, that has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is an essential, albeit underrated task. Not simply can an update improve the overall performance of your websites, but it will also save you a great deal of troubles down the road. An update may be released for many different reasons, the most prevalent being to fix recently discovered security holes, which may permit third-party individuals to access and modify the content that you have on the hosting server. You can also see an improved performance of your web applications because updates could also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it operates on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. Additionally, if you keep your applications up-to-date, they may need a later OS version which will have the needed software dependencies and will enable them to work properly.
