If you get a hosting machine of your own, it will work independently, so it'll have its own Operating System and you'll be able to later install server side apps directly or script-driven sites through a hosting Control Panel. Although keeping the Operating System updated isn't always considered an absolute necessity, 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 may get better performance for the sites and web apps that you install. Your server will also be more safe as updates often include security patches that deal with small problems that may allow unauthorized people to access your content. Last, but not least, newer script versions, which are also released for both improved security and for additional features, may require a later version of the Operating System in order to work effectively and with their full capabilities.
