Answer 3

If a beginner, look for the one with which you will be easier to handle, i.e. the one on which you can find a bunch of material on the net. I would choose between Ubuntu and Centos, but I would lean towards centos if you plan to go to the enterprise sector later. If it's just for yourself a couple of projects, then take ubuntu.

Answer 4

What operating system do you mostly use on your home computer? If it's CentOS, or Debian, or Ubuntu, or some other Linux or something else from Unix-like - that's what you put on the VPS. Of course, if you know how to handle Bash (and, in particular, you can configure iptables+ip6tables or UFW).
If you mainly use the Microsoft operating system, then hire a professional. VPS is a service for professionals, not for Windows users. You don't want your VPS to be easy prey for network intruders, do you?

Answer 5

I propose to take the most popular. Cloud Linux statistics from 1cloud.

Answer 6

Any one that you understand.
You will not feel any particular benefit for the sites, so do not bother.
