In my experience, DirectAdmin is still not as good as cPanel, but it is the most serious alternative to it. They had almost immediately stopped selling lifetime packages and limited their offers to monthly/yearly subscriptions (DA website pricing page link). Of the lucky ones, in addition to cPanel share holders, DirectAdmin control panel got a big boost in popularity, and total sales. People saying how cPanel are evil, how they will switch to different hosing panels out of principle, not just because of the money… the irony of it all being that up to that price hike, practically no one on any hosting forum would recommend anything but cPanel. It all started with a lot of crying, cursing, and drama. Let’s see how the things have changed over the past 12 months. Now, at autumn of 2020, I could make an analysis of the cPanel price rise from the year before (autumn of 2019). If we take some average server with around 1,000 user account, this results in the new price being 245 $ per month, compared to the old price of around 50 $!

new 2019 pricing was 45 $ per month per server, plus 0.20 $ per every user account created on the server.old pricing cost about 50 $ per month per server.For clarity, I’ll now just give a very brief explanation: The above noted article explains the pricing policy in great detail. For an average hosting company, the newly introduced pricing model, based on a price per crated account, brought a huge increase in costs for the control panel, and a bit more complicated accounting at the same time. And it did happen – announced in June 2019, starting at autumn of that year. I already explained why I had considered cPanel price hike to be inevitable. Expected consequences of cPanel 2021 pricing.Update September 2021: cPanel announces a new price hike for 2022. Here I’ll write about the now officially announced new price rise – starting from the January 1st, 2021. I already wrote about cPanel price rise in 2019.
