For the past 10 years I've never used a control panel but it seems lately I've been possibly loosing business becasue of such business practices. I can count at least two potentially new customers today. However I have been using FreeBSD for this time period as well and would like any recommendations for FreeBSD based control panels. Please only post if you have used in a production environment or you fully have used the panel inside and out.
I appreciate it, thank you all kindly.

cPanel works perfectly with FreeBSD 6.x and I've heard that DirectAdmin & H-Sphere are also both pretty stable. I don't have any administrative experience with DA or H-Sphere, so I can't confirm that statement.

I have a good experience with Direct Admin and Cpanel working with FreeBSD , you can think of DA as its good with BSD. but again Cpanel will be handy and more easy.

I'm leaning towards cpanel as a lot of potential clients know its name and are knowledgeable with its functionality. I honestly forgot cpanel even offered platform support for FreeBSD. I appreciate all the recommendations. I think we might have a winner :)

How long ago did you experience problems? I know there were some issues with FreeBSD 5.4, but since then most of the kinks have been worked out.
The only issues I encounter are when cPanel is first being installed, occasionally you have to run upcp twice or install the odd missing port, etc... nothing major for an experienced *BSD admin.
