Are you comfortable with DirectAdmin, let me know what is better than in cPanel.

Practically nothing. There's no cPanel comparison I find in the market. It's one of a kind. It's features are unique. It's interface is beyond comparison. WHM, AutoSSL, API, Tomcat integration, Python integration, ease of access... The list goes on.

I'll give you an example of a company that shifted to DirectAdmin after the cPanel price hike. It's GoogieHost. They used to provide free hosting in cPanel but after the price increase, their servers crashed. They requested for a non profit license but weren't granted one, so they shifted to DirectAdmin, which was their only choice in order to keep services economical. There's where I discovered DirectAdmin in depth. And that's where from I'm concluding this opinion of mine.

I agree with you Jordy that cPanel is much much superior to DirectAdmin. I won't call DirectAdmin worthless for that matter, as everything requires effort to be made, continued and regularly updated but yes, in comparison it's nowhere near cPanel.

I amnt a fool to classify things. I've my reasons for it. For instance, cPanel has everything bundled with the UI whereas a lot of the setups have to be done manually in shell, for DirectAdmin. Also, cPanel has an excellent documentation and a much broader and better forum community than DirectAdmin. cPanel has a million times better interface than DirectAdmin.

As far as the price is concerned, there comes a drawback of cPanel due to the recent significant price increase. However, it's my personal opinion that in cPanel your get what you pay for, not merely a bunch of codes flung at you for you to decipher and configure.

At last, I'd like to say that this is solely a personal opinion. I'm always open to disagreements. I know there will be people who disagree with me, with they're own valid reasons, so I'm looking forward to an interesting discussion.
