DirectAdmin Control Panel
DirectAdmin is a web hosting control panel that facilitates website management through a web-based interface.
It includes various features such as the Apache web server, PHP scripting, MySQL database management, Exim mail handling, and FTP services.
The platform categorizes users into three permission levels, ensuring appropriate access control.
Its intuitive interface caters to novice users, and a demo mode enables safe exploration without the risk of unintended modifications.
Additionally, DirectAdmin comes with a detailed installation guide and supports Linux distributions, including CentOS and Ubuntu. DirectAdmin also has available a full series of support videos covering the entire product.
With each dedicated hosting server, you can pick from 3 hosting Control Panel tools – Hepsia, DirectAdmin and cPanel. Each of these web hosting Control Panel tools enables you to host an unlimited number of domain names. The cPanel hosting Control Panel costs a month, whereas Hepsia and DirectAdmin are both completely free. The cPanel and DirectAdmin hosting Control Panel tools are available only with the CentOS Operating System, while Hepsia supports Debian. Soon the Hepsia Control Panel will be offered with all OSs.
