Updates on Windows VPS
I have a Windows 2003 VPS. Am I supposed to do the Windows updates myself or does the hosting company do this?
Thanks,
Jon

If your VPS is virtuozzo based you won't be able to apply the updates without breaking your VPS.
If it's XEN/KVM based then you're expected to handle them

What is the name of the control panel your VPS is using?
If you have something like 'Parellels Power Panel', then it's virtuozzo. It you have SolusVM/HyperVM/OnApp then it's XEN/KVM and you'll need to handle that on your own

I read this when signing up: "All Microsoft Windows VPS's have been securely updated via our virtualization technology (Parallels Virtuozzo)"
So how does it get updated? I ask because I need .NET v4 on my server to run some software, but its on v3.
