If you get a server of your own, it will work independently, so it'll have its own Os and you can later install server side applications directly or script-driven sites through a hosting Cp. Even though keeping the Operating System updated is not always considered fundamental, it can be a rather important task for a variety of reasons. A newer OS version could have better support for specific hardware, so you may get better performance for the sites and web applications which you install. Your server shall also be more safe since updates typically include security patches which resolve small problems that may allow unauthorized people to access your content. Last, but not least, newer script versions, which are also released for both boosted security and for additional features, might require a later version of the Operating System in order to work effectively and with their full capabilities.
