If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will operate independently, so it'll have its own Os and you could later install server side apps directly or script-driven internet sites through a hosting Cp. Although keeping the Os updated is not always considered a necessity, it can be a rather important task for a variety of reasons. A newer Operating system version could have better support for certain hardware, so you may get better performance for the internet sites and web applications which you install. Your server shall also be more safe as updates typically include security patches which take care of small issues which may allow unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, more recent script versions, which are also released for both increased security and for additional features, might require a later version of the Os in order to work effectively and with their full capabilities.
