I have a cPanel reseller account with an other hosting company, but I am unhappy with their uptime and level of service and am looking to move over the Christmas break.
Most of the sites are for personal use, with basic websites and low use email accounts. One site hosts a Wordpress blog & a small mailing list.
However, the main site uses php and perl, a SMF Forum with under 100 users & 15 well used email accounts.
I was originally thinking of just transferring to another reseller account. But perhaps a VPS account would be a better option.
At the moment I could only afford the VPSM account, and from what I have read that won't have enough ram for cPanel. DirectAdmin seems a lighter option but I have not used it before so am unsure whether it supports Wordpress and SMF?
I would be happy to setup everything again including email accounts, transferring the websites manually via ftp. I would also be prepared to restart the wordpress blog from scratch but the forum would have to be transferred intact and I am not sure how easy that will be. My only hosting experience is with cPanel but I do have some experience with linux command line.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Does DirectAdmin support Wordpress and SMF?
2. Would you be prepared to install these for me?
3. If managing a VPS turns out to be too difficult a learning curve for me. How easy would it be to transfer everything from the DirectAdmin VPS to a cPanel reseller account?
