Cpanel has been the standard for quite some time. But other ones like direct admin and plesk have come a long way and they are good.
Not sure that we could have Direct Admin, I don’t think that it would be that easy to move everything to Direct Admin.
ours is a Cpanel with Litespeed Enterprise hosting – just install litespeed plugin, connect it with quic.cloud cdn and you will get a blazing fast wordpress site.
