A virtual or a dedicated hosting server is a standalone machine, that has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is a crucial, although underrated task. Not simply can an update enhance the functionality of your sites, but it will also save you lots of troubles in the future. An update may be released for several reasons, the most common being to fix newly identified security holes, which may allow third-party people to access and alter the content you have on the hosting machine. You might also see an improved overall performance of your web applications since updates may also be released for better compatibility between the Operating System and the configuration it operates on so as to get the most out of the hardware. Additionally, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they might also need a later Operating system version that will have the required software dependencies and will permit them to function effectively.
