    Stay Away From Direct Admin (Worst Support I've Experienced)

    Everyone makes mistakes... I'm on vacation and typing in my car and my major datacenter doesn't officially support DirectAdmin and couldn't understand their instructions... but DirectAdmin's tech support is wrong every time, and every time over period of years, that's not ok, then when they are...

    Stay Away From Direct Admin (Worst Support I've Experienced)

    I just solved the installation problem, but I had to stop my vacation and do the install myself because the certified linux system admin at my major data center put the license ID instead of the license key in the install command... I then made the same mistake... I emailed sales and opened a...

    installing/reinstalling DirectAdmin (failed)

    but the DirectAdmin support company has to go, they don't know anything about DirectAdmin other than what they read in the documentation and don't really understand what that means... this is typical of overseas hosting support and they just waste time and blame the customer... this is a...

    installing/reinstalling DirectAdmin (failed)

    DirectAdmin sales solved the problem, but the DirectAdmin overseas tech support had no idea... the problem was that I put the license ID instead of the license key in the install command.... my certified tech at the datacenter also made the same mistake... installation was a breeze, took about...

    What's the proper procedure to setup a new server that will have the same name servers at the old server but keeping the old server online so I can make sure I have all the data transferred over?

    Could it be because my current license has the same name server as this current NEW license?

    installing/reinstalling DirectAdmin (failed)

    When does mysql/php/apache/mail and everything normally get installed? Is it when you run the single install script? Or at some point later? This is the 2nd time we've tried to install this. The first time the system admin at the data center tried and it gave him the same valid license...

    Stay Away From Direct Admin (Worst Support I've Experienced)

    My goodness what a bunch of fringe weirdos. I've been using DirectAdmin probably longer than most of you, I don't see many of the edit:usual people I used to see commenting on this board who were very helpful in the past, they are probably retired and on a beach somewhere. Now it seems like a...

    USA based DirectAdmin server support and administration companies

    You told me in 2021 that you use admins in India and eastern Europe. When I say USA based I mean 100% USA company, I don't want my server managed overseas in this political climate with wars going on in eastern Europe and China actively fighting with India.

    USA based DirectAdmin server support and administration companies

    All I can find is this https://www.serversurgeon.com/ and I think they use overseas people exclusively. Are there any DirectAdmin server companies that are exclusively in the USA?

    Important: Upgrade your DirectAdmin to ensure compatibility with our new licensing system

    Based on customers asking tech questions and having anonymous forum posters ridicule them instead of answer the question, it seems like DirectAdmin can't figure out which way is up. Same thing happens to me every time I ask a tech support question I get some guy who doesn't know the answer...

    How to choose MariaDB and PHP versions for fresh DA install?

    Please stop answering all my posts. Go away from me. Or I'll block you on here. You told me in another discussion that you won't answer anything about mariadb, you also said you don't know... are you paid to moderate this forum? And don't tell me where to post. I posted here because it...

    any reason not to use the recommended simple partition structure on a new server?

    mariadb installation seems buggy from my small amount of research and problematic, but I think that wordpress sites can migrate from mysql to mariadb and back and forth... more than that and I don't really care... I'm not running the New York Stock Exchange, just hosting small Wordpress websites...

    any reason not to use the recommended simple partition structure on a new server?

    they said most mainstream hosts use mariadb but they don't... godaddy uses mysql on my account and that's the biggest hosting company... in my little sample, only 2 out of 5 of the biggest hosting companies in the world use mariadb... that's not most... that's a couple... the minority. 50% if...

    I didn't do the basic installation, the techs at the data center did, then handed it off to me, so I don't know what was done and not done... I just know I'm logged in via SSH and through the IP into the control panel... I think I want to have mariadb, is there any reason not to? Not sure...
