What is DirectAdmin

DirectAdmin is a commercial web hosting control panel. It puts domains, email accounts, databases, DNS and files in one place, so you rarely need to edit configuration from the command line.

Access is split into three levels: administrator, reseller and user. You manage the whole server, sell or hand over accounts to others, and each client only touches what belongs to them through the Evolution interface.

It is known for its low memory use. With CustomBuild you choose the PHP and MariaDB versions and pick the web server: Apache, Nginx or OpenLiteSpeed. If you use cPanel, you can bring your accounts over with the official migration tool.

Company website

Your site, email on your own domain and HTTPS certificate all live on one server under your control.

WordPress sites and online stores

With the PHP version set in CustomBuild, the server meets what your CMS or store requires.

Your own professional email
