Plesk or Direct Admin?

[WW-Hosting]

I am going to be purchasing a second server with either Plesk or Direct Admin. I already provide cPanel hosting and I would like to give my clients the option between two control panels.

My main questions is, what would be more profitable? Are people looking for Direct Admin or Plesk more? What control panel would you rather have?

I would like as many replies as possible as I want to be sure when buying a server.

Thanks in advance!

I think plesk are better. Almost people choose Plesk or cPanel.

I have heard good things about Direct Admin, about how stable and easy to use it is, etc. So I would think that most people would prefer Direct Admin over Plesk.

Get Direct Admin, it is very easy to use and is very versatile.

As far as I know you can.

Yes, I have worked with Direct Admin before and it is extremely easy to use. It also comes with a nice clean interface that doesnt hurt your eyes when you access your control panel.

If you have worked with it before, I suggest you choose it over Plesk. It's best to stick with what you know.

I have used Plesk in the past and found it a refreshing change from the usual, I prefer it personally over DirectAdmin, but it's your call.

I can only agree with that! We are using directadmin for a year now and we would never ever want to use cpanel or plesk again! Directadmin is a very stable control panel!

I've used both Direct Admin and Plesk from an server administrators point of view, and DA by far is easier to manage.

For the client though, I don't think it makes any difference aslong as it works.

Well I did previously have a plesk server and a almost all of the clients on it complained about how difficult it was to use. I do think Direct Admin is the simplest control panel to use.
