Quick answer: Ubuntu is the safest default for general-purpose hosting and following most tutorials. Debian suits servers you want to configure once and leave alone. AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux fit RHEL-compatible enterprise needs, including most cPanel/WHM installations.

Quick Decision Guide

Ubuntu

Best default choice; most documentation and self-hosted app guides assume it.

Debian

Best for a server you configure once and want to change as little as possible.

AlmaLinux

Best for RHEL-compatible enterprise workloads and many cPanel/WHM deployments.

Rocky Linux

Best as a CentOS-lineage alternative to AlmaLinux, functionally similar for most uses.
