Thumbs up Do you have Direct Admin on your server?

Hello,

I am just wondering how many people have Direct-Admin control panel?

Do they a lot of people have it? or does C-Panel dominate over most panels?

Thanks

PS: How many of you Direct Admin owners are tired of the old design?

I have it on my servers.

If you're not happy with the skin, there are 2-3 available

We are actually in the process of designing a new one. Just wondering if there is a market.

I have 1 DA server, I don't mind the skin but it is a little old looking.

Yes, it's not just a skin anymore though. It's actually a combination of our own inhouse support/client management system. Pretty nifty :p.

I have 7 or 8 servers with it, I personally like the skin fine, I couldn't give a care as long as it WORKS. The design of the control panel is pretty straightforward and the users seem able to figure it out pretty easy and that's all I care about, I could care less how pretty it is

We use DirectAdmin. The skin could use some work in the "pretty" department, but it's plenty functional. IMHO, cPanel is much worse in both areas.

I use directadmin on FreeBSD 4.8. I have no problem with the old skin because all the tutorials use that skin so it's easier for the customers to follow.

We have DirectAdmin on 100 or so of our servers as opposed to about 20 CPanel servers. Our customers seem to like it.
