Why DirectAdmin
Cheaper to supply, kinder to margins
A panel that never drags
DirectAdmin was built lean from the first day. Screens open at once, nothing is wasted, and the panel stays quick for you and your clients even when the machine is working hard.
A lighter licence cost underneath
A lighter panel costs less to licence, and that saving goes straight into the plan price. The gap it leaves behind is your margin.
Your identity on every screen
Private nameservers plus your own branding mean customers deal with your company and nobody else; neither we nor the panel's makers get a look-in.
Reseller controls that earn their keep
Define packages, cap resources, suspend or upgrade accounts and track every customer from one quick reseller dashboard.
One pool, hundreds of clients
Sign up as many customer accounts as the resource pool will carry, with overselling on so every gigabyte does extra duty.
SSL on every site, automatically
Every client site under your reseller account carries free SSL that reissues on its own — a question your customers never need to raise.
What It Costs You
Pay less for the platform, keep the difference
The saving from a lighter licence lands with you, not us. A lean monthly base plus a small per-client fee means costs only quicken after the revenue does — and each sale leaves more room to price things on your own terms.
- A lighter licence, a lower base rate
- $0.40 a month per active client
- Dormant accounts never reach the bill
- Margins you can work out up front
Your Brand
Your name, from the first click to the final invoice
Point the nameservers, add the branding, and the product becomes yours end to end. Customers order, sign in and run their sites under your company name while the hardware and the panel vendor stay entirely out of sight.
- ns1.yourbrand.com-style nameservers
- Your mark, your company, your colours
- Packages and rates written by you
- No screen ever mentions us
Built For Resellers
Everything needed to run the operation
Build packages, watch client usage and stay in command from one quick dashboard.
One quick dashboard
Packages, users and resource caps share one reseller screen built for pace rather than ornament.
Accounts opened in seconds
Bring a client aboard in moments, with the packages and rates you defined ready and waiting for them.
NVMe beneath everything
All reseller accounts sit on NVMe SSD storage, so hosted sites load quickly and rank better for it.
Getting Started
Up and running in three moves
- 1
Choose a tier
Take the NVMe storage and bandwidth pool that matches today's client list. Stepping up later never costs a minute of downtime.
- 2
Put your name on it
Point private nameservers and load your mark, so everything from the login screen onward presents as your company.
- 3
Open the throttle
Assemble your own packages, price them as you like, take client accounts aboard and draw income every month.

- Every account backed by NVMe SSDs
- Quicker client sites that rank better
- Free SSL reissuing unattended
- Overselling that stretches the pool
FAQ
Straight answers on reselling DirectAdmin
What does a DirectAdmin reseller plan actually give me?
A DirectAdmin reseller panel for opening and running hosting accounts on behalf of your own customers. You design the packages, set the rates and keep every sale; the machines underneath stay our responsibility.
How does DirectAdmin undercut the larger panels on cost?
It asks less of the hardware and its licence costs less. That efficiency is why these tiers can be priced lower while staying just as quick for you and the people you sell to.
Can I put my branding across the whole service?
Yes. With private nameservers and your mark in place, customers only ever see your company name — ours never appears, and neither does the panel vendor's.
Does a ceiling apply to how many clients I can host?
Only what your resource pool will carry, stretched further by overselling. Nothing in the plan caps the account count, so bring customers on as fast as you can win them.
Do I have to buy my own DirectAdmin licence?
No. Every reseller tier already includes the licence at no added cost, so there is nothing separate to order, install or renew each year.
What if the client list outgrows the tier?
Move to a larger tier the moment you want more storage or bandwidth. Every account you have created comes with you untouched — no migration required.
Get moving on the lighter panel.
A lower licence cost, branding that belongs to you alone, and the DirectAdmin licence already inside the price.
Get Started FastDirectAdmin covers the same ground as the heavyweight panels on less server load and a smaller licence fee. Both savings go straight into your margin. Your client account sits on NVMe drives with LiteSpeed caching and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk answers for.
It suits resellers counting every licence dollar, and the essentials are fitted rather than upsold: a free certificate on every domain, a migration run by our team, nightly backups, and support reachable at any hour.
Less panel weight, less licence cost
DirectAdmin's reseller level gives you packages, quotas, suspensions and DNS, and clients get a brisk interface with file management, databases, mail and one-click installs. It draws far less from the server than the larger panels, which leaves more of the machine for the sites themselves.
The hardware carries the weight: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk stands behind. Quick pages please visitors and search engines equally.
The real source of the saving
No second price waits in year two. The listed rate is the invoiced rate, this term and every term after, and any opening offer shows its renewal figure beside it. Reseller plans carry a 7-day money-back window, and one message inside it is enough.
Panel licensing is one of reselling's quiet overheads. DirectAdmin's costs less, we add no markup line for it, and the plan price absorbs it, so doubling the client list does not double the cost.
How we run DirectAdmin
DirectAdmin runs on the same NVMe and LiteSpeed platform as the rest of our range, in our London datacentre with DDoS filtering at the edge and nightly backups. A light panel with serious hardware beneath it.
We do not wait for a customer to report an outage. Fleet monitoring runs minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so what usually reaches you is the fix rather than the fault.
- Full package control at DirectAdmin reseller level
- Licence overhead below the heavyweight panels
- Redundant network paths and conditioned power
- We own, service and replace the hardware
Good to Know
More that's built in
Lean panel, extra horsepower
DirectAdmin's small footprint leaves more CPU and memory for the client sites you are actually selling.
No renewal surprises
This year's bill equals next year's bill. That is the entire policy.
99.9% uptime, under SLA
The figure is in the SLA rather than only the marketing, and our monitoring desk answers for it.
A panel that stays out of the way
Everyday tools are two clicks deep at most, and none of them is held back for a bigger tier.
Scale up without relocating
A larger plan is one confirmation away, and you pay only the difference from the day you switch.
Free to leave any time
Standard panels and standard backups make leaving simple whenever you choose. Most customers never do.

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Can cPanel-habituated clients adjust to DirectAdmin?
Most are at home within minutes: the layout is cleaner and the everyday jobs, files, databases, mail and installers, sit on the front screen. Would rather skip retraining altogether? Our cPanel reseller plans are there too, and we move accounts between the two panels free.
How soon can DirectAdmin reseller hosting be running?
The panel login reaches you within minutes. If the client account currently lives elsewhere, we copy it across first, test it, and only then repoint the DNS.
Does DirectAdmin reseller hosting come with SSL?
Nothing at all. Certificates install themselves and re-issue comfortably before they expire.
What if DirectAdmin reseller hosting does not suit me after all?
There is a 7-day money-back window. Ask inside those seven days and the payment goes back the way it came, with no survey and no retention pitch.
