A virtual or a dedicated server is a standalone machine, that has its own Operating System and maintaining the latter up-to-date is a crucial, albeit underrated task. Not only can an update enhance the functionality of your sites, but it could also save you lots of troubles in the future. An update can be released for a number of reasons, the most common being to fix newly identified security holes, which may permit third-party people to access and alter the content you have on the hosting machine. You might also see an improved efficiency of your web apps since updates can also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it operates on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. Moreover, if you keep your applications up-to-date, they may need a later OS version that will have the needed software dependencies and will permit them to operate properly.
