Hi,
My friends and I are going to start a video site including several hundreds of videos, something like Youtube. We were looking for a cheap web hosting provider and after comparing the reviews of top web hosting services like bluehost, hostgator and godaddy and using a coupon from a website providing web hosting promo codes we chose bluehost and set up our website with one of their Plus shared hosting package. Unfortunately, a few days later bluehost banned our account and told us we had to purchase one of their VPS or dedicated servers! This unprofessional behavior made us angry and we cancelled our account, because their dedicated servers are several times more expensive in compared to their shared accounts.
Now we have chosen a VPS account with Godaddy which is cheap, but since we don't have any experience with using VPS we don't know which OS is more preferred for us as newbies. Godaddy offers Ubuntu, CentOs and Fedora. Godaddy recommend CentOs 6 for beginners (https://garage.godaddy.com/tech/conf...t-linux-distro), but most users on different websites recommend Ubuntu! This has made me confused in choosing the right Linux OS.
Could you please advise me regarding the proper OS?
