I am less pleased with DirectAdmin at the moment because they have violated their license agreement with their lifetime license holders. Big discussion over at the DA forum.

Same with their DC License no further mariadb support

Here's a quick breakdown:

For beginners: DirectAdmin (simpler interface)
For advanced users: cPanel (more features)
For resource-light servers: DirectAdmin (uses less server power)

Both are good options, so consider your needs first.

The choice between DirectAdmin and cPanel often depends on specific needs, preferences & familiarity:

For beginners and small sites, cPanel's user-friendly interface & extensive documentation make it a better choice.

For users who are mindful of their resources:

DirectAdmin's efficient use of resources and its cost-effectiveness make it a secure and stable platform, particularly for those managing multiple websites or working with a tight budget.

For those who prioritize security & customization:

DirectAdmin's strong focus on security and its lighter footprint make it a preferable choice for users who prioritize these aspects.

Ultimately, both control panels are capable of effectively managing web hosting environments. The best choice is a personal decision, empowering you to consider your individual preferences, hosting requirements, budget considerations, and the specific features and support offered by your hosting provider.

hey in my opinion I prefer directadmin as its much easier and comfortable to use, one signification difference is that uploading files on the file manager is much simpler than the CPanel system where it opens a new page for us to upload and we need to click a reload button for the file manager to refresh.
