Both also use \/var\/lib\/mysql\/ as the data directory, which contains the error logs, pid file, and database files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following shows what SQL options are supported for each panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><td><\/td><th>DIRECTADMIN<\/th><th>CPANEL<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><th>MySQL<\/th><td>yes<\/td><td>yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>Postgres<\/th><td>no<\/td><td>yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>MariaDB<\/th><td>yes<\/td><td>yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><th>PHPMyAdmin<\/th><td>yes<\/td><td>yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you require Postgres and prefer panel-supported installations, you would likely want to use cPanel.

Likewise, the same is true of cPanel&#8217;s migration tool with regards to Majordomo data to Mailman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"backups\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"backups\"><\/span>Backups<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Backup encryption is ideal keeping backups that are GDPR compliant.

This is how DirectAdmin handles migrating content from cPanel. cPanel&#8217;s backup restoration interface lacks this ability, however, they have a Transfer Tool that will handle migrating content from many panels, including DirectAdmin, Plesk, and Ensim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both panels support automatic Backup&nbsp;FTP\/Rsync to remote locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free_ssls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"free_ssls\"><\/span>Free SSLs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DirectAdmin supports free SSLs via Let&#8217;s Encrypt for the server&#8217;s hostname, domains, subdomains, addon domains, and service subdomains. These can be used to secure services as well. This requires that you run Let&#8217;s Encrypt for the domain, which can be done in the panel as long as SSL is enabled in the DirectAdmin configuration and the user&#8217;s skin. DirectAdmin also has an autoletsencrypt.sh script that can be downloaded and set to run via cron so that Let&#8217;s Encrypt SSLs are automatically renewed for you.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=675\">Setup LetsEncrypt SSL<\/a>&nbsp;The SSLs interface can be accessed at the User access level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin-1024x462.jpg\" alt=\"How-to-install-free-Let's-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin\" class=\"wp-image-3082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin-1536x693.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/How-to-install-free-Lets-Encrypt-SSL-in-DirectAdmin.jpg 1922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel provides free SSLs by default from Sectigo (formerly Comodo) for the server&#8217;s hostname and for domains, subdomais, addon domains, and service subdomains. These can be used to secure services as well. cPanel also supports free SSLs from Let&#8217;s Encrypt, but it requires the installation of a plugin, and you must choose either Sectigo or Let&#8217;s Encrypt, but not both. There was some dispute between Comodo and Let&#8217;s Encrypt early in Let&#8217;s Encrypt&#8217;s deployment which has led many to prefer one to the other, so cPanel&#8217;s decision to provide both options will accommodate either preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manage AutoSSL in WHM has several tabs for viewing logs (so that you may determine why domain validation failed or check to see the status of the SSL request), for enabled\/disabling SSLs for users, and for configuring AutoSSL options (such as the notifications you wish to receive). Manage AutoSSL is accessed via WHM, but there is also an interface at the cPanel user level for managing SSLs, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/whm-autossl-page-1024x541.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/whm-autossl-page-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/whm-autossl-page-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/whm-autossl-page-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/whm-autossl-page.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"free_let_s_encrypt_wildcard_ssls_and_rate-limits\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"free_lets_encrypt_wildcard_ssls_and_rate-limits\"><\/span>Free Let&#8217;s Encrypt WildCard SSLs and Rate-Limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>DirectAdmin has has support for this since approximately summer 2018&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.directadmin.com\/features.php?id=2122\">LetsEncrypt wildcards for free<\/a>. As of August 2019, wildcard SSLs are not available with cPanel. cPanel does, however, have plans to implement this feature by v84.&nbsp;See here: <a href=\"https:\/\/features.cpanel.net\/topic\/lets-encrypt-wildcard-certificates\">Let&#8217;s Encrypt cPanel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One notable benefit of using cPanel&#8217;s Sectigo (formerly Comodo) SSL vendor is that they do not impose rate-limits as Let&#8217;s Encrypt will start doing with their new&nbsp;API&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/upcoming-changes-to-lets-encrypt-plugin\/\">cPanel blog<\/a>. The new rate-limit is 300 certificate orders every three hours. Let&#8217;s Encrypt does provide a form to request a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/letsencrypt.org\/docs\/rate-limits\/\">larger limit<\/a>, though. Also, with the ability to request wildcard SSLs, reaching the limit is made less likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"apis_prepost_hooks_debug_mode_and_scripts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"apis_prepost_hooks_debug_mode_and_scripts\"><\/span>APIs, Pre\/Post Hooks, Debug Mode, and Scripts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both panels offer vast options for customizing and extending the panel via APIs, Pre- and Post-Hooks, and plugins. Furthermore, they both contain a scripts directory containing many useful scripts to help you administer your server. DirectAdmin&#8217;s scripts directory is located at \/usr\/local\/directadmin\/scripts\/ and cPanel&#8217;s is located at \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>DirectAdmin<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=338\">The DirectAdmin Api<\/a>&nbsp;permits one to accomplish anything via a script that can be accomplished via the panel. All one must do is determine what POST values to use with the&nbsp;API&nbsp;in order to construct the&nbsp;API&nbsp;command. You can run the panel in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=293\">debug mode<\/a>&nbsp;to determine these values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the&nbsp;API, you may also attach custom scripts to pre-and post-hooks so that custom code runs either before or after certain events.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=294\">Plugins allow one to extend DirectAdmin&#8217;s functionality even further<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>cPanel<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel is developer friendly as well and accommodates these same features. You can create your own package items, implement custom code via plugins and pre- and post- hooks and plugins, and use debug mode to debug your custom code. All of the development features and more are well documented on their developer documentation page.

Statistically speaking from experience, 99.9% of hacks occur due to vulnerabilities in the site rather than in the server, and this is largely due to how KnownHost utilizes the panels&#8217; features to secure everything by default in addition to a reliable firewall, such as CSF\/LFD. Here are just a few of the security features that both panels support (listed features may be either enabled already or optional on KH servers and&nbsp;<em>unofficially<\/em>&nbsp;supported, e.g., Maldet):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Automatic Updates via Cron&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=247\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/server-configuration\/configure-cpanel-cron-jobs\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2FA&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.directadmin.com\/features.php?id=1754\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/cpanel\/security\/two-factor-authentication-for-cpanel\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security Questions&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=546\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/security-center\/security-questions\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSF\/LFD Firewall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ClamAV&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=370\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/plugins\/configure-clamav-scanner\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maldet <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.directadmin.com\/showthread.php?t=45851\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/knowledge-base\/security\/additional-security-software\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Option to Enforce Strong Passwords<a href=\"https:\/\/www.directadmin.com\/features.php?id=910\"> DirectAdmin<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/security-center\/password-strength-configuration\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic PunyCode translation for IDN domains&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forum.directadmin.com\/showthread.php?t=56852\">DirectAdmin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ModSecurity&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forum.directadmin.com\/showthread.php?t=45851\">DirectAdmin<\/a>&nbsp;| <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/knowledge-base\/security\/additional-security-software\/\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spam-fighting software\/methods&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=577\">DirectAdmin<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cpanel.com\/?s=spam\">cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>much, much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bruteforce Monitoring<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both panels offer their own&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/whm\/security-center\/cphulk-brute-force-protection\/\">bruteforce monitoring software<\/a>. DirectAdmin includes BFM, the BruteForce Monitor, and cPanel includes cPHulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DirectAdmin&#8217;s BFM by default sends messages to the admin about bruteforce attempts, but doesn&#8217;t actually block them. This is because DirectAdmin doesn&#8217;t support IPTables, but there is an unsupported way to configure this.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=380\">block IP<\/a>&nbsp;An alternative option would be to configure BFM to work with the CSF\/LFD firewall, <a href=\"https:\/\/help.poralix.com\/articles\/how-to-block-ips-with-csf-directadmin-bfm\">block IP&#8217;s with csf<\/a>&nbsp;but the integration appears to be redundant as it appears to simply disable settings that the firewall monitors and passes those to BFM. CSF\/LFD would monitor these services sufficiently alone. For this reason, Knownhost uses CSF\/LFD for bruteforce attack blocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel&#8217;s cPHulk is much of the same story. Unlike BFM, it does handle blocking by default (via denying authentication, not via IPTables), though. Still, CSF\/LFD is sufficient for monitoring and blocking bruteforce attacks, so this feature can be considered just another layer of protection for the paranoid, if not redundant. For this reason, Knownhost does not enable this by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For any users that choose not to use a firewall such as CSF\/LFD, these services would be highly recommended.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"statistics_software\"><\/span>Statistics Software<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DirectAdmin and cPanel alike support both Awstats and Webalizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/directadmin.com\/features.php?id=894\">DirectAdmin Awstats<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/help.directadmin.com\/item.php?id=63\">DirectAdmin Webalizer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/cpanel\/metrics\/awstats\/\">cPanel Awstats<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/cpanel\/metrics\/webalizer-ftp\/\">cPanel Webalizer<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may choose to use neither, one or the other, or both.
