A virtual or a dedicated hosting machine is a standalone machine, which has its own Os and always keeping the latter up-to-date is an essential, though underestimated task. Not only can an update boost the performance of your websites, but it will also save you lots of problems in the future. An update may be released for several reasons, the most widespread being to fix recently discovered security holes, which may enable third-party people to access and modify the content which you have on the hosting machine. You might also see an improved efficiency of your web apps because updates might also be released for better compatibility between the Os and the configuration it functions on so that you can get the most out of the hardware. Moreover, if you keep your programs up-to-date, they might need a later OS version that will have the necessary software dependencies and will enable them to work effectively.
