What is DirectAdmin?
DirectAdmin is the panel administrators pick when they want the job done without ceremony: a lightweight, fast, dependable interface covering sites, mail, databases, DNS, and SSL, with a footprint small enough to leave your server’s resources to your actual workload.
Its native admin/reseller/user hierarchy makes delegation clean for agencies, and it pairs naturally with CloudLinux for multi-account isolation. We install it, license it at standard pricing, keep it updated, and run the whole platform underneath.
