question about directadmin

[txn]

Hi everyone,

I've been hosting web site for company by using Mac OS X server 10.4, but in next few months i want to move my site to linux (centos) server. Right now i am not sure what control panel to use, one of my friends introduced me about directadmin but not sure that directadmin can do this for me.

My server has 1 static ip address and i've been using DNS from my ISP (from T1 company) for my web server right now and the server has been working fine with those 2 DNS. I just wonder if directadmin will work in my situation even i don't have to create my own DNS and continuous using ISP's DNS? Thanks

I prefer FreeBSD 6.2 for your new OS since MacOS is hierache from BSD4

DA has feature to control DNS server, however not matter if you not using it
But you may need to delete dns record for your domain and forward all request to your isp dns.

DA is Multidomains CP if you just use only 1 domain, you may not need to use DA, however if you want to manage a lot of email user on domain, DA could done this fine.

My website has about 50 email accounts for all employees in the company. We also have some domain from other clients which we've been hosting for them but just few not many. thanks.

By the way, does DA have IMAP and POP3 ? because I'm using Thunderbird, outlook to check email on workstation, so i want something that can work for both webmail and Thunderbird or outlook. Thanks.

p/s: sorry if i confuse you, this is the best i can explain to you.

Yes, by default DA installation
it's use exim as smtp server by using mbox storage system
and supported both imap and pop3 via vm-pop3d and wu-imap
you can use any pop3/imap client to download email.

However I suggest to upgrade from vm-pop3d/wu-imap to Dovecot
since, dovecot supported both pop3 and imap by itself and use a better performance maildir storage system.
