If you get a hosting server of your own, it will operate independently, so it will have its own Operating System and you'll be able to later install server side programs directly or script-driven sites through a hosting Control Panel. Although keeping the Operating System updated isn't always considered fundamental, it can be a very important task for a variety of reasons. A newer OS version might have better support for specific hardware, so you could get better performance for the sites and web applications you install. Your server shall also be more secure because updates typically include security patches which take care of small issues which may permit unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, newer script versions, which are also released for both increased security and for additional features, may require a later version of the Os in order to work properly and with their full capabilities.
