it's not about what distro you use, it's about the software running on it.... most distros will be completely identical.... it's up to you how well you make it work

Your premise is wrong. Linux is a kernel, not an operating system, and a distribution is a collection of software and, hopefully, some kind of package management system.

A very good piece of web caching software is called Squid. This is available on pretty much every single Linux distribution as a package, and can be installed from source on those that don't package it.

The same goes for your question about web servers.

Regards

so I need some helps..

Also , If I can do something about hosting and ... I can do I will be very happy.

chris is right, its the software, if you are talking about web and cache you can self evidently download any software that you need.
I use squid and it works just fine. I think there was a bit of configuring but squid comes with good documentaion and many examples.
good luck.
