If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will run independently, so it'll have its own Operating System and you could later install server side applications directly or script-driven sites via a hosting Cp. While keeping the Os updated is not always considered an absolute necessity, it can be a very important task for a variety of reasons. A newer OS version may have better support for certain hardware, so you may get better performance for the sites and web applications you install. Your server shall also be more secure because updates typically include security patches that take care of small problems which may permit unauthorized people to access your content. Last, but not least, more recent script versions, which are also released for both boosted security and for additional features, may need a later version of the Operating System in order to work properly and with their 100 % capabilities.
