"Dear cPanel Customer,

Over the last 12 months, we’ve continued to listen and to deliver many critical features and capabilities. These enhancements include installations and updates now completing in less than five minutes, substantially reduced memory footprint, and meaningful improvements to the core mail, DNS systems (DNSSEC), and expansion of our NGINX support.

To make sure you get the best possible product experience and support, we review our prices annually. As a result of our recent pricing review, we’ve made some changes to our pricing that will become effective on January 1, 2021.

But that's still experimental? And how is less than 5 minutes install a "feature" for something <5GB big.

They're going to lose to a competitor by doing this, there are other alternatives that are getting better quite quickly, e.g. apiscp, they even have a cpanel migration guide: https://docs.apiscp.com/admin/Migrations - cPanel/ lol.

Isn't that the open source CSP where the owners got their panties in a knot because DA used some of their code pertaining to a module?

DirectAdmin has a cPanel migration tool built into it and it works wonders.

Built into? As in GUI?

I found DA very confusing. The whole reseller-user setup made no sense to me at start. I've however used cPanel for more than a decade, so there will be a learning curve.
I just recently installed DA again and will give it some serious attention the coming weeks.

cPanel can go fly a kite. I really want to move away from using it.
 
Not built into the GUI but available via SSH and included within Custombuild

How-to: cPanel to DA migration

I'm transferring one big site at 130GB. Does the DirectAdmin server need to have double this space to restore the backup? Currently the DirectAdmin server has 200 gigs. I'd suggest not including public_html to cpmove backup, and then rsyncing it manually. Alternatively, you may convert the...

We found DA to be substantially easier to setup and the Admin / Reseller / User level is easier to get around.
Chopping and changing between a reseller and their clients is far easier with the impersonation within DA. Overall we prefer it in comparison to cPanel and we wouldn't offer cpanel if we had the choice.

How well does spam experts or mail channels integrate with DA?

We don't use either so I unfortunately cannot comment - but there should be sufficient discussion on the DA forum about either of them.

Give DA another run and see how it goes
 
What incoming filter solution do you guys use then?

I've already installed it a few days ago with a trial licence. Will dive into it this week.

Hmm that's a tough question to answer because they both stop spam but the way they work in the background is very different.
Out of the box rspamd runs on each server and needs to learn what spam is, whereas spam experts has been around for ages and they have sufficient data to feed into their algorithm to detect and block spam.

Lets just say that we haven't received any complaints about spam on our DA servers that run rspamd.
It costs nothing to run so give it a bash, if it doesnt suit your scenario then try an alternative.
 
I just heard from my provider that they plan to move to Direct Admin over the next 12months. And they have HUGE datacenters! cPanel is shooting themselves in the foot here!

cPanel is seriously starting to abuse their market share and they will start hemorrhaging customers.

This proves the downtrend!

Wow, that's amazing. cPanel has lost nearly half its install base if that graph is accurate.

Good riddance I say. Before I ditched reseller hosting, I really liked DirectAdmin. And I found TTFB better on all sites compared to cPanel.
 
Sadly have to revive this thread as cPanel has just announced another price increase :-(

(Double whammy or is it a Triple whammy)
Rand/US$ hitting R18.10- US$1, cPanel price increase. The Rand/US$ also affects the costs of all new hardware and all other software solutions that are licensed in US$ that are used in the data centre to provide hosting for clients.
 
Do you know what the new pricing will be or have a link to it by any chance?
