I run Linux Mint with a runlevel of 3 (No GUI clogging up the system)
Might want to check that out. It's a Debian based desktop OS, so it isn't very server-centric, but you can install most programs yourself.

When you said you need try to install install CentOS 6.X because you need 1 Gb of RAM. Are you installing the GUI version or the non-GUI version.

Also, no to sounds mean, but to point a fact is that, you may not be able to run a website server, because the ISP, they mostly block the default port for webhosting which is 80. But you can always change that.

I was able to run CentOS 6.X with 1Gb of ram, of course it's non-GUI. It's a pain at start, but in months time, you will get used to it.

I'll check out this thread often to see if you need any help.
