Each and every virtual or dedicated server has its own Operating System and works independently from the servers of other customers. Updating the Operating system is frequently ignored, but doing that might have lots of advantages for your websites. The most significant reason to employ the most up-to-date version is that patches are usually released to deal with security holes inside 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 get access to your content. Operating system updates are also released for improved efficiency of the system in general and for much better compatibility with the hardware on the market, which could directly affect the performance of your sites. If the efficiency and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you may also find out that their newest versions require an updated Operating System so as to function effectively, thus keeping the Operating system up-to-date is always recommended.
