No, you cannot install patches in your Windows Virtual Dedicated Server account because of the virtualization software that we use. Instead, your Virtual Dedicated Server receives patches when the server it is hosted on is upgraded.

We review and test patches released by Microsoft each month. We begin installation of any relevant patches on our Windows Virtual Dedicated Servers as soon as the virtualization software vendor confirms compatibility with the virtualization software.
