Because Centos IS Redhat without the paid support ie a "free' community 
version.  Nearly all the hosting companies I've done business with have used 
Centos.

For me it was just a matter of circumstances.  Back @2005  the geeks at the 
local LUG were using it.  They had an "installfest" and that's what got put on 
a hand-me-down  machine alongside Winblows 98.  Those were blissful days of a 
sane Gnome2 desktop and a customizable usplash login screen.  Ubuntu hadn't 
arrived yet  and Lennart was still in 'diapers' with only sugarplum dreams of 
Lendows . . .  sigh . . .
