Control panels: DirectAdmin or cPanel Hospedagem, what's next?

Every aged webmasters knows cPanel has been leading the market for at least five years. But there are great and robust others, doing a very good job and winning their market.

We tested DirectAdmin, a linux based control panel. Here are our impressions:

It is quite simple to use, fewer features than cPanel, but very complete and stable. Linux based, it was installed into a Core2 Quad, 2GB RAM and CentOS x64. The install process took a while, it downloads all the required modules to your linux hospedagem de sites distro, probably this was the reason.

DirectAdmin lacks for some extras, like Fantastico, automatic script installer, and it haven't the same sort of skins and languages as cPanel. Fortunately, as DA have quite fewer options (it's a very complete panel, they just placed the features you will really need), translating was not a problem.

It's very light, it uses less CPU resources than cPanel. That will save you some money, as you don't need to upgrade your server very often. Also, you don't need so much RAM to run it, 1GB would do the job.

Bottom line, it's approved. Very good panel, a bit cheaper then cPanel. We have been hosting over 300 web sites on it, at a very easy job.
