Whoever said DirectAdmin is good? I disagree. When compared to VistaPanel, it wins only in terms of graphic design.
CPanel has the most functions =).
Apparently Vista Panel is undergoing rebranding, just see
www.youhosting.com
i can't imagine a web hosting without cPanel
Theres SolusVM, HyperVM, cPanel, DirectAdmin, all them are good, its just a matter of which one you like, I personally like all of them. I find that some people want DirectAdmin hosting, and some want cPanel, so I run each on its own server, cPanel on one, and DirectAdmin on the other.
