Thank you for the quick reply, just one question, you recommend doing that in the same server? i mean i have cpanel, and i will install directadmin in the same server

No, you shouldn’t do this. The only reasonable way to do it would be to take the backups, copy them off server, wipe the server, install DirectAdmin, and copy the backups back over for restoration. That’s probably a minimum of 2 hours downtime, assuming you have barely any data. It would be more sane to set up DirectAdmin on a new server and then, when ready, swap the DNS over to it.
