         台灣好像很多企業等級的用戶都買它來使用，可能認為它是大廠吧。
         有個感想如下
         優: 對 Client 端來說介面美化，整合性還不錯
         缺: 對工程師的角度，由於它整個程式都是加密的，對於維護、管理上存在不少困難度

         介紹到它只是因為它好像存在很久了，但沒用過

         曾經使用過它，我的研究 ref: http://ssorc.tw/?p=191 。
         我玩它不是很深，不過對於免費的，且習慣 Redhat、postfix 等系統的人可玩玩它。

         它也是免費的，最初好像主要應用在 Debian 系統上吧，我猜，為何呢，因為假如你用 Debian 的系統安裝它的話，順利的不得了，
         而它的介面及使用上都還不錯，可玩玩看。

• DirectAdmin

Ease of use.  DirectAdmin is the easiest to use control panel, period.
Speed.  DirectAdmin is programmed to be the fastest running control panel available.
Stability.  DirectAdmin avoids downtime by automatically recovering from crashes.
Support.   We offer lightning-fast support by phone, e-mail, forum, and live online chat.
Price.  We offer flexible licensing options to suit every kind of hosting company!

         這個也是要費用的，但相對於 Plesk，它的應用更彈性，單就對升級方面來說好了，
         假如你要升級 php 到 5 版，或 MySQL 到 5 版，DA 不會像 Plesk 都被綁的死死的，就算 Plesk 更新成功也可能不能用呢
