Host websites, email and databases with DirectAdmin — a fast, low-overhead control panel — on your own Linux VPS with full root and pure NVMe.
DirectAdmin is a fast, lightweight web-hosting control panel that uses far fewer resources than heavier alternatives — making it ideal for getting the most out of a smaller Linux VPS. You manage websites, email, DNS and databases from a clean graphical interface.
With full root access you install DirectAdmin yourself, create accounts and reseller packages, and keep overhead low so more of your RAM and CPU go to your sites. (A DirectAdmin licence is required separately.)
DirectAdmin is light on resources, so even small plans stay fast and responsive.
