Each and every virtual or dedicated hosting machine has its own Operating System and works separately from the hosting servers of other clients. Updating the OS is usually overlooked, but doing that may have lots of benefits for your sites. The most important reason to use the most up-to-date version is that patches are usually released to repair security holes within the Os code, so if you do not install the updates, you risk people with malicious intentions to take advantage of these holes and to gain access to your content. Operating system updates are also released for enhanced performance of the system overall and for better compatibility with the hardware available on the market, which could instantly affect the performance of your sites. If the performance and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you could also find out that their newest versions require an updated Os so as to function effectively, therefore keeping the Operating system up-to-date is always recommended.
