Kernel

The core part of an operating system that manages server hardware, memory, and resources, ensuring hosting environments run applications smoothly and reliably.

The kernel is the core part of your hosting server's operating system. It manages communication between software and hardware, allocating memory, processing power, and system resources as needed. Every operating system, whether Linux or Windows, has a kernel working silently in the background to keep things running smoothly. In hosting, keeping the kernel updated is essential for performance and security. It's one of those invisible components that makes your server stable and responsive. Without it, none of your applications or websites could function properly.
