🛡️ KernelCare vs Manual Kernel Updates: What’s Best for Your VPS Security?

Leave a Comment on 🛡️ KernelCare vs Manual Kernel Updates: What’s Best for Your VPS Security?

When it comes to securing your VPS, keeping the Linux kernel up to date is one of the most critical but often overlooked tasks.

At HostEONS, we’re frequently asked:

Should I use something like KernelCare or stick with manual kernel updates?

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you decide what works best — especially if you’re managing your own VPS.

🔧 What Is KernelCare?

KernelCare is a live patching service for Linux systems. It applies security updates to the kernel without requiring a reboot, making it perfect for environments where uptime is essential.

Benefits include:

  • 🔄 Automatic patching of kernel vulnerabilities
  • ⏱️ No downtime or reboot required
  • ☁️ Ideal for high-availability or production systems

🔁 What Are Manual Kernel Updates?

Manual updates are the traditional way of updating your Linux kernel:

  1. Check for kernel updates (yum, apt, etc.)
  2. Install updates
  3. Reboot to apply the new kernel

While it’s free and gives you full control, there are trade-offs.

Pros:

  • 💰 No additional cost
  • 🧰 Ideal for non-critical or dev environments
  • 🔍 Full visibility over what’s being installed

Cons:

  • ⚠️ Requires scheduled reboots
  • 🕒 Vulnerable during the patch gap
  • 🔁 Easy to forget if not automated

⚔️ KernelCare vs Manual Updates – A Quick Comparison

FeatureKernelCareManual Updates
Reboot Required❌ No✅ Yes

Ideal Use Case24/7 live systemsDevelopment or staging VPS
Cost💲 Paid service✅ Free
Downtime Risk❌ Zero⚠️ Possible downtime

🏆 What Does HostEONS Use?

While we don’t offer KernelCare as an addon for VPS customers, we do use KernelCare internally on our shared hosting infrastructure.

Why? Because it lets us:

  • Maintain 100% uptime on shared servers during security updates
  • Keep customers safe without surprise reboots
  • Respond faster to critical kernel vulnerabilities

🔐 What Should VPS Users Do?

Since HostEONS VPS plans are unmanaged, kernel security is your responsibility. We recommend:

  • Use Manual Updates if you’re comfortable managing reboots and scheduling updates
  • Set Reminders or use tools like unattended-upgrades (for Debian/Ubuntu) or yum-cron (for CentOS)
  • Always reboot after a kernel update to stay protected

🧠 Bonus Tip

If you’re running mission-critical apps on your VPS and want live patching, you can install KernelCare yourself. It supports most mainstream distros and is easy to manage — just make sure to review the licensing and fees on their official site.

💬 Final Thoughts

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but the key is not to skip kernel updates. Whether you patch manually or use a service like KernelCare, staying updated protects you from vulnerabilities that attackers love to exploit.
