While this isn’t a deal-breaker in most cases, since you can use third-party software or plugins to enable the features you want, this is certainly something to keep in mind. For example, some cPanel alternatives don’t have email functionality. However, not all options might include the feature set that you rely on. Most cPanel alternatives come with basic features like FTP, databases, and domain management. Luckily, most options come with great documentation and guides so getting started shouldn’t be much of an issue.
#Directadmin vs cpanel install#
What Features Should a cPanel Alternative Have? Platform SupportĪlthough most options in this list are compatible with major Linux distributions, you’ll still need to consider if the software or install script you’re using is compatible with your server. It is an excellent option for smaller companies and startups that don’t have a dedicated IT team or server management experience. Unlike self-hosted options, updates and maintenance of the software is controlled by the company providing the solution. On the other hand, SaaS (Software as a Service) options, have a hassle-free installation and are very user-friendly. While self-hosted options are more complex to set up, they are a good option for companies that are in need of reinforced security and stability, as you or your IT team has complete control over the software. However, these options typically ask some experience with server management and are not geared towards individual developers or newer users.
#Directadmin vs cpanel free#
Self-hosted panels are usually free to use or require a low-cost license.
Think I'm going to keep looking as directadmin is not viable competition regarding its extremely ultra high price of $1,000 over 3 years indefinitely. Plus, just like cpanel, unfortunately i have to pay AGAIN for the SAME software on another server, which I will NEVER do. Not sure if it's worth saving only 15 dollars a month. Now it jumped for 45, and while 30 per month was WAY too much, 45 per month is basically "F** YOU CPANEL USER WE'RE STEALING MORE MONEY".īasically I'd have to forfeit the benefit of cpanel just to continue paying the same HIGH price of 30 per month instead of 45 per month. DirectAdmin should revisit its pricing, I wanted to leave cpanel before ,when its prices were 30 dollars per month which i paid until september 2019, only because i hadn't found an alternative yet. Any software should NEVER be in the hundreds, and DEFINITELY not the thousands of dollars over a few years. But, with a proper theme DirectAdmin seems to be a viable competitor, but it isn't cheap, in fact DirectAdmin is still EXTREMELY expensive, same price as cpanel previously, but now cpanel costs even more than extremely expensive, which is beyond absurd.įor a SOFTWARE people should NEVER have to pay a subscription price. The only thing cpanel has going for it is proper UI design. "Evolution is like 2005-style design, better than "Enhanced" but still ancient poor design. "Enhanced" is even more atrocious like 1990-era style. I am planning this switch immediately and I have a separate dedicated server just for this testing. But, I've seen in the forums cpanel-like themes and most importantly if it has the capability to create my own theme then I can make one to emulate the cpanel x3 theme. > Can be modified to look exactly like cpanel (without cpanel logos which I swap for my own branding) > the X3 theme (NOT that horrific paper lantern theme)īy the way the default directadmin themes are atrocious, not the worst but it's horribly bad. F cpanel they can all go die for all I care, I am leaving them for good. And now they have raised the prices dramatically. I extremely want to leave cPanel, I already hated their stupid crap and want them all to be fired and the company to be disbanded. I would pay for the ability to do that, I wouldn't even take a totally free panel with encrypted pages. I was wondering if DirectAdmin also has encrypted pages or if it's possible for me to modify everything on my own server which I own to my own liking. This is NOT acceptable even if the panel is free. I installed centos web panel but I discovered that the login pages and the admin pages are encrypted.
