Patch Management and Managed Patching

Protect and Secure Your Environment

Each month, software vendors such as Microsoft and RedHat release software updates, patches, service packs and hot fixes to their operating systems. Installing patches ensures that your server solution will be updated to fix potential software bugs, software vulnerabilities, operating system vulnerabilities, and server performance issues.

Patching servers takes time and usually requires a reboot of the server. To reduce the burden on our customers, Hosting.com offers a patch management solution.

Software updates and patches are essential to ensure your server stays up-to-date and secure. The patches keep your server running smoothly and help repair vulnerabilities that are found by the manufacturer of the software. Having experienced server technicians apply the patches for you guarantees they are done correctly and on schedule.

Hosting.com tests all new updates and patches that are released in a testing environment. When adequate testing is complete, the updates and patches will be applied to your server and your server will be rebooted (if necessary) during the scheduled maintenance window. You have the option of re-scheduling the patches if the normal maintenance window is inconvenient.

Experience control and visibility in the Hosting.com Customer Portal. The patch management portal widget provides you access and self-service administration of your patch schedule, historical data, and the ability to push approved patches and exclude patches from a particular server.
