As a user, the writer finds DirectAdmin more convenient than cPanel for adding a domain and uploading files via FTP. They are curious why most hosting providers offer cPanel instead of other panels and wonder if it's because it's cheaper, has more features, or is more productive. They are also looking for overseas hosts or resellers that provide DirectAdmin.

The writer is also interested in how cPanel handles the availability of sites on newsite.com.mainsite.com and mainsite.com/newsite.com/ domains. They have seen many examples of subdomains being indexed by Google and wonder if redirects are always necessary for newly added websites. They question why this issue hasn't been fixed and if this is critical.
