Definitely have a play & to see if you can stomach the change. I did the switch about 2 months ago after spinning up a small KH DA VPS to try out for a few days with a $1 domain name. After 10 years of CPanel it was a definite jump out of my comfort zone. I had to change something anyway as CPanel was running out of RAM on my legacy 2.5GB VPS and causing processes to crash occasionally, so I took the plunge. To get a new 4GB RAM SSD VPS at a similar price point I had to choose between paying for a CPanel license or continuing to have KH managed support. 2 months on I'm confident my choice of the latter was the right move even though I seldom raise tickets.
I found a couple of minor shortcomings on DA and one major - the rubbish backup systems with no support for Backblaze B2, Amazon or anything other than FTP really. I came up with an alternative solution that works for me (or you can throw a little money at the problem & buy a backup solution from KH).
KH helped me every step of the way through the migration and seemed to have a lot of experience & a well defined process for this, checking my server extensively & communicating clearly with me before each change.
I had a few issues along the way that I didn't know what to do about - each time I just raised a ticket and took a step back, KH sorted them quickly every time. Probably raised more tickets that week than in the prior 3 years!
