# hostware Update

As soon as an official hostware update is available, you will receive a yellow notification in the administration section of your hostware installation. With one click, you can go directly to the settings and perform the update.

## Run the update

Under *`Settings -> Update`*, you can view the changelog and the latest update information for hostware.

Once you have created a backup of your hostware VPS and then start the backup, hostware will update itself. The process should be complete after just a few seconds. You can view the update progress at any time via the console in the administration area.

The process usually takes 1-2 minutes and does every configuration step for you, no manual adjustments needed.
