CPanel Alternative for AWS to host WordPress blog

[SarthakDhonchak]

First of all if I'm posting in the wrong Threads, please guide me as I couldn't find another for hosting advice.

I'm trying to start a blog, I've looked at shared and VPS hosting providers, but as I'm a student I have access to AWS free tier as well as Google Cloud. I thinking of saving some money and using them to host my blog.
I know I can install WordPress directly, but I would much prefer having a hosting like panel to manage and monitor things, install SSL, create emails for the domain, have a phpMyAdmin or similar a filemanager, etc.

I read quite a bit on this and found out that I can use CyberPanel with OpenLiteSpeed Cache  or Ajenti for doing it. I also looked at plesk obsidian(free web min version). But I don't really have any first hand experience with these and I have a few questions.

 

1. Will the panel I choose affect the speed of the website. Is cyberpanel better than ajenti or plesk because it offers OLS? 
2. Will the distro I choose (ubuntu/centOS ) have an impact on the speed.
3. are these my only options or is there any better/faster panel that I can/should use?
4. which one of these 3 would you suggest keeping in mind that although I'm a total beginner I'm ready to learn if needed?

Check out CWP (Control Web Panel formerly CentOS Web Panel) https://control-webpanel.com

Despite its namesake, I believe it works just fine with Debian kernels (Ubuntu, Lime, etc..); and it's free

The panel you choose generally doesnt affect your website speed, as it sits on top of your configured http daemon and configuration.
