DirectAdmin And CPanel Outlook Configured Automatically?
May 4, 2008
My understanding is that if I join a webhosting company that operates the cPanel web control panel then my Outlook Express email program would get configured automatically.
However if the webhosting company were to be using DirectAdmin web control panel would I get the same benefit in this respect please?
On average, how much memory does cpanel use when compared to a standard directadmin setup?
I've never had a chance to use directadmin before, but I've been reading quite a bit about it around the web and that it uses much less memory than cpanel.
Anyone used both? Which is better for VPS hosting?
I have a direct admin server and I am planning to take backup of all the accounts in my DA server to my friend server. This is just for safety precautions.
I have heard that Direct Admin is much faster then cpanel & require much less resources then cpanel... I was just wondering if I get vps with 128 ram with Direct admin on it, would it be better than vps with 256 ram with cpanel installed... I am running 3 websites with almost 10 to 20 users at a time (at max 50).... I like both cpanel & directadmin but was thinking if 128 ram with DirectAdmin can give more speed on 128 then I won't spend more money on 256 with cpanel... If anybody have an opinion then please put it here...
I'm having problems setting up email in Outlook with cpanel configurations. I've exhausted google trying to find an answer to this. Maybe someone here can help or has had a similiar problem.
I've set up accounts in cpanel (eg: info @ example.com), have the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server as mail.example.com and I even checked off the "server required authentication" but I still can't receive emails. I changed the outgoing server to smtp.internetprovider.com and it still doesn't work. I get a prompt asking for Network Server Password and click ok with the login and password but it keep popping up.
I have a reseller account that is hosted at ns1 / ns2.mydomain.com and it is configured via cPanel / WHM and is accessed by mydomain.com
I recently purchased a dedicated server and would like the dedicated server to have a ns3 / ns4.mydomain.com I also would like that the dedicated server be accessed by another domain (other than mydomain.com). Is this possible?
If that is not possible, what way is a good way of doing this?
Has anyone done this or currently running this setup? to try it with my directadmin server first but havent found very good documentation or howtos. Ive looked the last week or so and havent really found anything helpful. So if anyone is running such a setup Id like to know how you did it and how much better if any it is.
I have 2 Cpanel VPS and a Cpanel reseller account, each of them with different providers. What I would like to do is replicate my company's website, billing and support sites across the 3 locations, for achieving a fail over configuration.
