Each virtual or dedicated hosting server has its own Os and operates separately from the servers of other customers. Updating the OS is usually neglected, but doing that might have a wide range of advantages for your websites. The most important reason to employ the most up-to-date version is that patches are typically released to deal with security holes in the Os code, so if you do not install the updates, you risk individuals with harmful intentions to take advantage of these holes and to get access to your content. Operating system updates are also released for much better functionality of the system overall and for far better compatibility with the hardware available on the market, which could instantly impact the functionality of your websites. If the functionality and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you could also know that their most up-to-date versions require an updated Os to be able to function properly, thus keeping the OS up-to-date is always wise.
