Tag: server updates

Server updates are the patches and new versions released for operating systems, web servers, databases and other server software. Most of them close security holes that are publicly known, which means an unpatched server becomes an easy target soon after a fix is announced. At the same time, updates can break applications if they are installed without planning, so they need testing, a schedule and a way back. That balance is why many businesses prefer to leave updates to specialists. Internet Solutions keeps the Linux and Windows servers we maintain updated as part of server administration, with backups in place before changes are made. Websites hosted with us are kept running, secure and up to date as part of the hosting service. Regular updates also help performance, especially on servers that run accounting software or business e-mail.
