Each and every virtual or dedicated hosting machine has its own Os and functions separately from the hosting machines of other customers. Updating the OS is frequently ignored, but doing that might have a wide range of benefits for your websites. The most essential reason to use the newest version is that patches are frequently released to deal with security holes within the Os code, so if you don't install the updates, you risk people with malicious intentions to take advantage of these holes and to get access to your content. OS updates are also released for improved functionality of the system overall and for better compatibility with the hardware available on the market, which can instantly influence the efficiency of your sites. If the performance and the security of your scripts is the reason to update them, you may also know that their most up-to-date versions require an updated Os so as to function properly, consequently keeping the OS up-to-date is always wise.
