    Good luck getting into your account without a battle ever again if you choose plesk. Everything gets screwed up and there’s no support. There isn’t even the option of resetting your password. They completely hijacked what was a twenty-year account.

    Both security and functionality wise, CWP is a good option. Also, Cyberpanel has a lot of good features. Anyways, thank you for the list.

    Thanks for this good knowledge shared. I’ve tasted both CPanel and Direct Admin Panel. Direct Admin is nowadays better than cPanel. However both are pretty good! My website: http://www.bestsolutionsuganda.com is hosted on Direct Admin Panel and I have never found any challenges since I transferred to this. The user interface and all others are very ok.
