If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will run independently, so it will have its own Os and you can later install server side apps directly or script-driven websites through a hosting Control Panel. Even though keeping the Os updated is not always considered a necessity, it can be a rather important task for several reasons. A newer OS version could have better support for certain hardware, so you might get better performance for the sites and web applications that you install. Your server will also be more secure since updates often include security patches which deal with small problems that may permit unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, more recent script versions, which are also released for both improved security and for additional features, may need a later version of the Os in order to work correctly and with their 100 % capabilities.
