I used to like cPanel, but my host uses DirectAdmin. It's cheaper and WAY better, if you ask me. I have a dedicated server and use DirectAdmin on it. We've moved sites a couple of times and it has a very, very cool backup / restore. I also like that you can have 1 ftp account for all your domains if you want, something cPanel didn't have. You should check it out. It doesn't look as polished as cPanel, but its more polished!

Directadmin is looking pretty nice so far, ill look at it in more depth and see if it is the answer for a control panel ^_^

I do personally like cpanel alot, but the price tag is huge and is totally out of my price range o_O

thanks everyone for the help so far,

My host uses Direct Admin as well and once you get used to it, it is quite fine to work with.

i host my own sites aswell as email.

to be honnest the server isnt that big....from memory its a p4 2.8gb with a gig of ram and 200gig hdd

i use apache and php on a MS2003 server software package.
mdaemon for email

but even though there isnt much special about the server itself. We have a uncapped internet connection. For me that makes all of the difference in the speed of the site. We pay $109.95au per month for our connection which allows us 15gb downloads and unlimited up. With speeds that supposively

I decided to move to a dedicate privately owned server after our last hosting service trashed our data.

I have the server at home and bought a 2nd ADSL connection specifically for the servers use.

Although the speed of the site has decreased (as you would expect from going from a core pipe to a home pipe); it is very much usable and I've had no complaints.

I now also have FULL control over it, and have a DDS4 backup unit to store the data.

Moving to my own server was the best move I've ever made I think regarding my flagship site....

No more storage restricts; no more data capacity restrictions
and all in all....no Bandwidth restrictions.

And all financed by donations from my site.

With over 3000 active accounts and 200+ users visiting each day - i'm a happy bunny
