Directadmin - Falling behind?

So are you saying that 4 years ago that feature was unstable and now is not?
 
And no, im not going to any other place, i hace 278 licenses. You can estimate my cost. I have some right to complain
 
Everyone has a right to their own opinion, no matter how many licenses they own.

Continuing to use this thread to bicker and vent, and for nothing constructive, may result in closing the thread.

Excuse me Jeff,

This is our feedback in it's purest form. If you don't want to want to hear our feedback, then go ahead and close this thread.

This will only confirm that Directadmin gives a hoot about our feedback.

I agree with Walo 100%. And I still think Directadmin is falling WAY behind on many things that are important to my business.

This is, has been and will continue being my feedback until:

1- Directadmin gets on the ball
2- I find something better.

Our feedback can only be constructive if it gets responded to and threatening to close the biggest feedback thread in Directadmin's history is not constructive either.

I dont expect everyone to accept my suggestions or feedback. You can stay with directadmin or not, you can agree with my feedback or not, but this it is a bit immature from you.

As i can see (an many users too) directadmin is still stable and powerfull, but IS FALLING BEHIND

But.......it works! No crashing like Plesk, no uglyness like CPanel.......

If DA manages my customers sites without a hitch, they are happy and that makes me happy all around - the extra features that DA has/will have are an added bonus!
 
It's pretty sad the no Directadmin staff gives us any response to our feedback.

Thanks guys. Thanks a lot.
 
DA staff always responds quickly when you ask questions.

I guess closing this thread would be the best thing since no usefull information is posted anymore.
 
I;m bumping this back up...why? Because its an ongoing problem. Why have DA not officially responded?

Pretty poor that they are happy to sell us the product, but wont provide a simple feedback to a problem which clearly a lot of us want addressed. It would take seconds to respond, but instead they choose to keep us in the dark.

Very disappointing. I guess they don't care about the product or its community anymore.
 
I'm not really sure why the UI looks 'old'... I mean have you tried to use a Cpanel UI? *Shudders*

Plesk is meh. Nothing really beats DA in my opinion... looks great to me.

My biggest feature I would want that's missing is a Billing System. Not sure if it's even on the radar, but it'd sure make my life easier...
 
Quadium,

just go get the billing system at WHMCS.com - the price is right, everything works as it should and the integration to DirectAdmin is wonderful. Writing a billing system is a really big job. I would rather have DirectAdmin continue their core focus of the control panel than get distracted with billing system design headaches. The WHMCS people have done it right - that is why so many people are flocking to it. I have used the other billing systems and lived a horrible billing nightmare until I stumbled upon WHMCS - life has never been better from a billing system point of view.

There's billing software out there, thats why DA/etc has an API..... A control panel controls the web/mail/etc, not the billing...... I don't want to see DA become bloatware or become something its not.

Besides, we have our billing on a different server... What if the servers with DA goes down? People wouldn't be able to pay or submit help tickets.

Point taken. What do you use for billing then?

ClientExec, it has Zend and Ioncube versions. Reasonable priced.

My previous post was only my opinion, other people may want the idea of billing integrated in DA.

Just I can't see if some companies have, say, 100 servers with 500 clients per server, so thats 500 users for one server for billing, which is 50k altogether - it could be confusing who's on what server.

Note: The numbers are hypothetical.
 
Billing can be incredibly complex; I know I've worked on major accounting packages for Billing, accounting and manufacturing. Billing and related accounts receivable is generally the most complex.

And it really doesn't make sense to have it included with DirectAdmin unless you've only got one server or want lots of different billing programs.

My guess is it would double the cost of DirectAdmin. I'd rather have a choice of external billing packages.

I know of only one hosting control panel which includes billing; that's H-Sphere. Are there any others?
