Hi, If anybody uses CentOS as there own web-server and has a domain there using on it please tell me so I can check it out.

probably lots of others. The server is not going to be what makes a website look nice.. it is the software and extra work that goes into it over that.
I am very well aware of that I just want to know how it handles things. Possibly by a <?phpinfo()?> tag in one of there files
Publishing a public phpinfo is dangerous ... it tells people who might want to hack your server EXACTLY what capabilities and versions of EVERYTHING you have and should be avoided at all costs. Any phpinfo should be inside a password protected (or IP restricted) directory. PLEASE ... don't anyone do this on a machine you care about.
It is also worthless, as the output depends totally on which of php packages (and other web related modules) you have installed. These packages are optional and only the ones you need should be installed.
CentOS was ranked 8th among Linux Distrubutions in number of Web Servers installed on the entire Internet in Nov 2005 ... and we should have moved up a couple places since then.

so _LOTS_ of people use CentOS as their webserver ... including fedoralegacy.org :)
You should install CentOS yourself and do:
yum install php* mod_ssl httpd mysql-server
That should give you a fully functional http server to look at.
