As many people know that a lot of hosting providers have switched from cPanel to DirectAdmin or Plesk. I have checked many companies and they offered for changes to cPanel unlimited accounts for the resellers, since switching they now charge $ 0.75 per cpanel account. And they also moved to DirectAdmin. My personal opinion is that DirectAdmin is really a worthless control panel, but that is my opinion. I also tried DirectAdmin myself but the DirectAdmin did not work on the WHMCS due to an unknown error and / or reason. Which provider are you and do they still offer cPanel with an unlimited number of accounts or they now also ask you $ 0.75 for each account. Or are they balanced to DirectAdmin. Also tell us what you think of DirectAdmin and which you prefer, also useful for those who want to go back to cPanel from directadmin to recommend them a hosting company that offers cPanel. Are you comfortable with DirectAdmin, let me know what is better than in cPanel.

It is interesting that you should bring it up @Pacific Spirit.  Can't but help but wonder whether DirectAdmin has been doing a massive marketing campaign as I've just received an opportunity from HostUs, a cheap VPS provider to get DirectAdmin for free!!!!  I'm not usually as lucky as this, but apparently they chose their users with UK IPs.

I still have to respond though, as I'm hesitating. I'm knowledgeable about DirectAdmin to a certain degree, however it's a long time since I used it - 2016 - and I remember to get into how it worked was VERY frustrating.  However, once I understood how the tools fit together, I found it very easy to use.  I remember the biggest problem for me was the skins for DirectAdmin, in the end I went for the most basic one that came with the package.  DirectAdmin can be very clumsy and also VERY unforgiving to use.  Frihost.com, an old free hosting forum used to use it, and where it is unforgiving is when a user who has been away for a while does multiple attempts for trying to access his user account.  It almost immediately shuts the user down and suspends the account.  That worked out well for the Absentee Host and Admin of the Server, as those failed login attempts led to permanent suspensions, so the risk for infections for absentee hosts was minimized to a certain degree.

But, I haven't used DirectAdmin in such a long time, so maybe I should try it out again while I have the opportunity.  Only drawback of course is too that I'll then have to start my VPS from scratch again.  I've been quite happy with my VestaCP.  But I'd probably be a fool for not using DirectAdmin or at least try it out.  At the very least I should log into my HostUs Client Account to see how HostUs has incorporated the use of DirectAdmin in their client area.

Anyway,  I'm still running my "blog" all of these years since starting it in 2016.  With a Freenom domain no less. And it's still alive.

This blog post is the most representative of all of my directadmin experiences when I was trying to get to grips with it.  It provides comparisons too with my cpanel experiences - aptly called: "My 36-hour DirectAdmin Ordeal":
