If you get a server of your own, it will operate independently, so it'll have its own Os and you could later install server side applications directly or script-driven internet sites via a hosting Control Panel. Though keeping the Os updated is not always considered fundamental, it can be a really important task for a variety of reasons. A more modern OS version may 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 protected as updates typically include security patches that take care of small issues which may allow unauthorized individuals to access your content. Last, but not least, current 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 properly and with their full capabilities.
