    DirectAdmin Vs. LxAdmin, which one is good ?

    Hello friends,
    In upcoming months, I am going to purchase VPS of 30 GB and 512 MB RAM.
    So which Control panel is good keeping eyes on DirectAdmin and LxAdmin ?
    I am not going for cPanel, please dont advise me about it.

    DirectAdmin - My VPS provider is giving at $10/m
    Qu. -- I know we can make resellers but can we provide them their own DNSes ?

    Like, I am Administrator-www.adminofserver.com
    My DNS records are - dns1.adminofserver.com and dns2.adminofserver.com

    I am having a reseller, Like www.goodreseller.com
    So can I give him DNS records like dns1.goodreseller.com and dns2.goodreseller.com ? ( In case of both, Directadmin and Lxadmin )


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I heard that LxAdmin in not secure, the chief Developer has died before few months so all development process is on hault. Is it true ?

    Need help, Thank You

    At the moment, DA. You know that its more secure and up too date.

    I do believe that Kloxo (LxAdmin) may be a good alternative if the new devolopers take it down the correct path, time will tell.

    You are right. Kloxo is as good as dead now.

    To be honest (and this is just my opinion) they are not even in the same league..

    Use DirectAdmin. LxAdmin (officially renamed to Kloxo) probably needs to be rewritten from the ground up. The current maintainers are trying their best, but recently released a patch for a security issue in a related LxLabs product (HyperVM) which itself introduced at least 2 new additional security issues to the software. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and they still have not mentioned anything about correcting the problems they introduced, nor have they released a patch for the original problem for the Xen platform. LxLabs' products are, in my opinion, not safe to use.

    DirectAdmin, period. I can't imagine even wanting to use LxAdmin right now.

    DirectAdmin since you want to sell hosting too, if it had been just your site/s you could have used http://www.ispconfig.org too.

    IMO Directadmin would be your best bet. You know it will have support.

    DA is the only choice that makes any sense right now between those two.

    I think you can, read the features and documentation of ISPconfig.

    But since you are interested in selling hosting, I will not recommend ISPconfig, as buyers won't be interested in it. So if you want to make money, invest some to get returns.

    Also before going the ISPconfig path, ask yourself are you a good Linux admin, do you have enough skills to manage your VPS or dedicated?

    Creating hosting accounts, creating resellers and providing them their own nameservers can be done even on a plain OS without any control panel, but you need the knowledge, skill and experience for that.

    So better get a managed DA or cPanel VPS and enjoy selling hosting.
