Security Through Timely Updates
Drupal updates are essential to protect your website from vulnerabilities. The system automatically informs you about new versions in the dashboard.
Secure Update Process:
- Create a backup without fail. Use the Softaculous backup function for this.
- Activate maintenance mode.
- Replace the core files (via FTP/SSH) or use Composer for an automated update.
- Run your website's
update.phpto update the database.
Pro Tip: For demanding Drupal updates, our SSH access is ideal for executing Composer commands directly on the server.
