I recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
which is better, LXAdmin or DirectAdmin? I have decided to sign up with world-of-computing.com. They have a promo code for free DirectAdmin. Should I go for it or use the 25%off promo code? The virtualization technology used is OpenVZ.
Does anyone have any experience with them? I had chatted with a Sales Rep for 45 minutes and he has been really helpful. But I know that support for sales and service is entirely different.
Also which OS should I go for (CentOS4/CentOS5/Fedora7/Debian4/Gentoo4/OpenSuse 10/Ubuntu 8.04)?
Can anyone share some experiences on this? I'm new to VPS so it's not clear how much RAM cPanel will consume comparing with Webmin after everything is configured for production?
I rebuilt my VPS (again) today and noticed something different. Instead of the usual "Install LxAdmin" icon in HyperVM I read "Install Kloxo."
I looked at the demo and everything looked the same. Has anyone noticed any definite differences between the two? Has anything significant changed apart from the name?
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 have my own vps i been running lxadmin but i would like to move to cpanel. but is there away to make a back up of all the files and emails and sql databases ect in lxadmin and then move it tocpanel buy adding that back up from lxadmin?
or will i have to upload all files one by one and make all user acounts again?
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'm new to using directadmin and I've got a problem; I've not yet switched the DNS over to the directadmin server 'cause I want to make sure the sites work first, however I can't find how to view the sites. With cpanel you can go to http://192.168.1.1/~username (where 192.168.1.1 = IP of server and username is username of account). is this possible with directadmin? I can't find anything about it, anywhere.
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?
