Display the version of the OS installed on a hosting service
This guide explains how to find out the operating system version of the server for your Web Hosting.
Preamble
- Even if Debian or a package appears outdated, the displayed versions do not have vulnerabilities:
- Infomaniak keeps them up to date through regular internal patches on all components and systems used.
- The versions are chosen for their stability, then enhanced by security measures that classic tests do not detect.
- If you or your clients identify a vulnerability in an Infomaniak product, please submit a proof of concept. Although rare, these cases are handled quickly.
- Data security is the user's responsibility: Infomaniak cannot be held accountable for poor management or use of access credentials.
