Would you recomend either program for use across > seperate web, email, dns, and fileservers? I have been maintaining a server running FreeBSD 5.3 with cPanel installed. It has worked fairly decently - but only after I disabled the nightly upcp script in cron. :-) Previous to that, the script occasionally crashed the server and/or updated programs like Bind without using the proper flags at compile time, making them move to /usr/local/bin and the init scripts stop working. The mailer that cPanel has control over is Exim. Also this server handles a little over 200 websites and incoming e-mail for those sites. MySQL is done on a separate server, as is outgoing e-mail (qmail) - neither of which cPanel has control over. Overall, I haven't been that impressed with cPanel. But then again, I like doing everything from the command line anyway. Unfortunately, I have zero experience with DirectAdmin. HTH, Jacob
