compared to plesk, whm/cpanel is the gods gift.

Personally I prefer using shell, should give it a try sometime, its the most flexible and feature filled server admin tool out there!

Pleask can be very very bad depending on your host.

so far I have to agree. I love my whm/cpanel on my other host and so far not doing well at all with plesk. Greg mentioned it was more powerful once you got to know it so I blame my lack of knowledge. Still hate it regardless lol.

Cpanel rules!

You said it.

I've tried direct admin before, completely weird considering it was my first time trying it out though.

To put it bluntly its a piece of sheeeeet.

Any tool that makes me work harder is not a tool.

The migration capabilities are poor, at least with WHM/cpanel I can migrate easily (and from memory it can even migrate from plesk)

The backup tool absolutely sucks, it places the backup in a location that you can only get to via plesk, unless you have a shell thats not in a chroot jail, and I don't have one. You can't remote backup either, which is just plain stupid.

I can't use a text based web browser on a server because plesk doesn't support it, so I have to transfer over a gig to my workstation and then back to the new server (and I'm on a very ****ty connection)

plesk is all sizzle and no steak.

If I'm wrong on any of these I'd love to know, but I doubt I am - at least for the server I'm trying to get the data off.

I absolutely love Plesk over CPanel, but then again my experiences with CPanel have always been less than pleasing whereas my Plesk experiences have always been great.

I can give you access to one of my servers that you can use to move files if you want Drew, just give me a shout.

I don't like it much either, but then again who cares what I think. Oh yeah, no one does, i'm just posting this because I have 6 posts left before I can complete my PM.
