Windows Server and Firewall Updates - September 2025

10 September 2025, in Shared Web Hosting, Hyper-V Cloud Servers, Dedicated Servers

We will be performing Windows Updates on our Windows Shared Hosting Servers, Hyper-V Platform, Hyper-V Servers, Managed Dedicated Servers, and Customer Managed Firewalls during the following period:

Start of work - At-risk period:
Start Date: 11th September 2025

End of work - At-risk period:
Risk End Date: 12th September 2025

Times work will be carried out:
Start Time: 05:00 BST
End Time: 8:30 BST

Service Impact:
After the updates are applied, each server will need to be rebooted twice, resulting in a brief service interruption of approximately 1 to 4 minutes per reboot.

Reason:
Microsoft releases Windows updates and patches on the second Tuesday of each month. These updates address security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and other concerns. After testing the latest updates, we will roll them out to all Web Wiz Managed Windows Servers. Additionally, Negate has released new firmware for their firewalls, and we will be updating customer firewalls to the latest version.

We have previously provided a 12-month service for the price of 10, which was a 16% discount. However, due to increased Energy and Business Rates, we have had to make some adjustments. We are now offering a 12-month service for the price of 11, which still provides a significant 8% discount. This exclusive discounted annual payment option is designed to continue providing value to our existing customers on annually discounted payments. Please note that this offer is no longer available for new customers or for those looking to switch from monthly to annual payments.
