I have just purchased a VPS hosting server and going to install a hosting control panel as plesk, cpanel or directadmin, but the first thing to install now is OS, i would go with Centos and Ubuntu but i am not sure which one is better for those hosting control panels. Can you suggest me which one should i go with?

I would suggest Ubuntu. But that's because I have been using Ubuntu for a long time now (Both for my Desktop and server). So it is a slightly biased suggestion.

But at least, cPanel and Plesk has support for Ubuntu. And Ubuntu seems to have a lot of community support.

I always choose Centos for my server, the problem just confusing me is, I should choose centos 6 or 7 or version 8, the rest depends on you when you only need to choose a good hosting control panel to run on it.

Centos 6 is reaching EOL (end of life) i would recommend centos 7 for now, as because alot of softwares like cpanel etc are still not fully supported by centos 8.

cPanel only works with CentOS and its the Best Control Panel you can get so far.

- Either cPanel or Plesk are good options with CentOS always.

- Both works good with CentOS and also provide good performance as well.
