Application update policy & process
Anchor continuously monitors and applies updates to all vendor supported applications deployed on Anchor infrastructure to maintain stability and security.
We do not apply major updates to any application which can affect the stability of live/deployed client services.
Versions
Anchor is constantly deploying new shared web hosting servers equipped with the the latest stable application versions as supported by the operating system vendors. In this way if you need a major version upgrade it can most often be accommodated.
Scalability
As your Windows application becomes more demanding Anchor can walk you through the process of supplying more resources on the shared web hosting environment or perform a seamless migration to your own dedicated server.
