I did not use DirectAdmin still now but have been use Cpanel and well familiar with its functionality. So for me Cpanel is best.

In my opinion, you will have more opportunities using cPanel control panel.. it is the most preferable and easy-to-use control panel.

Some web hosts require extra cost for cPanel within their hosting plans.

Hello,

Our datacenter www.balticservers.com using both panels, but we allways recomend for us clients cPanel. Because its easy to control, have good updates and backups function.
