I am an "unhappy" user who have been struggling with ensim for some time.
I was thinking of switching to cpanel when someone told me about DirectAdmin. So far, I am quite impressed with it though it doesn't seems to be as powerful as Ensim or Cpanel but as long as I can do what I want then it's good enough.
I am currently hosting with ev1servers which I am quite happy with their support. We are running a server with around 12 domains. One of our main problem is "SPAM". We keep getting attack by spammers every second and we need to build a very good antispam system. I got it configured nicely with ensim 3.5 but then when I upgraded to 3.7 and above, ensim broke my setup because it now comes with mailscanner+SA+clamav built-in. I can no longer set it up to what i did before because of the "ensimized" version.
So, here are my questions :
1) Can I still host with ev1servers or is that another host who provides hosting together with DA? AFAIK, ev1servers doesn't comes with DA.
2) Can I still use URCHIN with DA? (offered at USD1 by ev1servers)
3) Does DA's upgrades provide nightmares like Ensim's?
4) Can I upgrade packages like mysql or apache or php or perl and so on from standard packages or stuffs are integrated like in ensim (i hate this)?
5) I believe DA comes with clamav and SA. Can I install MailScanner and MailWatch successfully? Will MailWatch work 100% with DA?
6) If I host from ev1servers, i need to get DA separately. So, what is the level of support can DA support provide? For eg, my mqueue have mails stuck there which I don't know why it doesn't clear. Will DA support handle this for me or I am on my own?
7) to be continue....
