Well, I've been wondering which of these 3 is the best, or is it any other.
Please give me your opinion for quality and cost/quality.
Thanks!

I have done very well with cPanel and will not change. I switched to plesk for 1 week and hated it.

Just my 2 cents.

You cant go wrong with CPanel/WHM....

Ive also found that plesk uses alot more resources when in use on lower end servers than cpanel does.


Never really tried directadmin or helm except for on demos, but found them both harder to navigate than cpanel.

See thats odd, I found Cpanel the most confusing out of all of them. HELM is super easy to use. And I have never tried DirectAdmin.

This topic gets beaten to death in this forum.

Personally, after using DirectAdmin, I would never go back to anything else. I have also received many comments from clients that they love the DA panel (though they were unsure of it at first) and now prefer it to cPanel.

I like the Plesk interface - they designed that well so things are well laid out and simple to drill down to where you want to go (without having to log in as a user to modify a user's domains), but DA is almost as good. DA does have an issue with its default security setup, but as it is very configurable, you can get that tweaked to something as secure as Plesk quickly.

Have used CPanel, Plesk and Da. Hate Plesk from the first moment i used it. Looks to heavy and hate the interface. Cpanel was ok but since i switched to Da i knew it was, what i was looking for. Fast, easy to use and one of the best in my opinion.

I love DirectAdmin. Probabley the most stable control panel I'll ever use.

A vote for cPanel here :)

The sheer volume of features and high consumer demand will always keep us with cPanel.

cPanel is more user friendly and push button solution especially for the less technically people.
