Why DirectAdmin
Cheaper to supply, kinder to margins
A panel that never drags
DirectAdmin was engineered lean from day one. Screens snap open, nothing goes to waste, and the panel stays quick for you and your clients even when the server is working hard.
A lighter license cost underneath
A slimmer panel licenses for less, and we pass that saving straight into the plan price. The gap it leaves behind is your margin.
Your identity on every screen
With private nameservers and your branding applied, customers deal with your company alone — neither we nor the panel's makers ever get a look-in.
Reseller controls that pull their weight
Define packages, cap resources, suspend or upgrade accounts and track every customer from a single quick reseller dashboard.
One pool, hundreds of clients
Sign up as many customer accounts as your resource pool can drive, with overselling enabled so every gigabyte does extra duty.
SSL on every site, automatically
Every client site under your reseller account carries free SSL that renews on its own — a question your customers never need to raise.
What It Costs You
Pay less for the platform, pocket the gap
The saving from a lighter license lands with you, not us. A lean monthly base plus a small per-client fee means costs only accelerate after revenue does — and each sale leaves more room to price things on your own terms.
- A lighter license, a lower base rate
- $0.40 a month per active client
- Idle accounts never touch the bill
- Margins you can forecast up front
Your Brand
Your name from first click to final invoice
Point the nameservers, drop in the branding, and the product becomes yours end to end. Customers order, sign in and manage their sites under your company name while the hardware and the panel vendor stay completely out of sight.
- ns1.yourbrand.com-style nameservers
- Your logo, your company, your colors
- Packages and rates authored by you
- No screen ever mentions us

NVMe beneath everything
All reseller accounts run on NVMe SSD storage, so hosted sites load quickly and rank better because of it.

FAQ
Straight answers on DirectAdmin reselling
What exactly does a DirectAdmin reseller plan give me?
A DirectAdmin reseller panel for creating and running hosting accounts for your own customers. You design the packages, set the rates and keep every sale; the servers underneath remain our responsibility.
How does DirectAdmin undercut the bigger panels on cost?
It demands less from the hardware and its license costs less. That efficiency is why these tiers can be priced lower while staying just as fast for you and the people you sell to.
Can I put my branding across the entire service?
Yes. With private nameservers and your logo in place, customers only ever see your company name — ours never appears, and neither does the panel vendor's.
Is there a limit on how many clients I can host?
Only what your resource pool can power, stretched further by overselling. No per-account ceiling is written into the plan, so add customers as quickly as you can win them.
Do I have to purchase my own DirectAdmin license?
No. Every reseller tier already includes the license at no added cost, so there is nothing separate to order, install or renew each year.
What if my client list gets too big for the tier?
Jump to a larger tier the moment you need more storage or bandwidth. Every account you have created moves with you untouched — no migration required.
Get moving on the lighter panel.
A lower license cost, branding that belongs to you alone, and the DirectAdmin license already built into the price.
Get Started FastDirectAdmin covers the same ground as the heavyweight panels while carrying less server load and a smaller licence fee. Both savings land straight in your margin. Your client account sits on NVMe drives with LiteSpeed caching and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk is held to.
It suits resellers watching every licence dollar, and the essentials come fitted rather than upsold: free SSL on every domain, migration handled by our team, daily backups, and support on call at any hour.
Less panel weight, less licence cost
DirectAdmin's reseller level provides packages, quotas, suspensions and DNS, and clients get a snappy interface with file management, databases, mail and one-click installs. It draws far less from the server than the big panels, leaving more of the machine for the sites themselves.
The hardware carries the load: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk stands behind. Fast pages keep visitors and search engines happy alike.
The real source of the saving
No second price lurks in year two. The listed rate is the invoiced rate, this term and every term after, and any intro offer shows its renewal figure alongside. Reseller plans come with a 7-day money-back window; one message inside it is all it takes.
Panel licensing is one of reselling's hidden overheads. DirectAdmin's runs cheaper, we never add a markup line for it, and the plan price absorbs it — so doubling your clients does not double your costs.
How we run DirectAdmin
DirectAdmin sits on the identical NVMe and LiteSpeed platform as the rest of our range, in our London datacentre with edge DDoS filtering and daily backups. Light panel, serious hardware underneath.
We never wait for a customer to flag an outage. Fleet monitoring runs minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so what usually reaches you is the fix, not 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 tiny footprint hands more CPU and memory to 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 number lives in the SLA, not just the marketing, and our monitoring desk is accountable for it.
A panel that gets out of your way
Day-to-day tools sit two clicks deep at most, and none are locked behind a bigger tier.
Scale up without relocating
A larger plan is a single confirmation away, and you pay only the difference from switch day.
Free to leave any time
Standard panels and standard backups make leaving easy whenever you choose. Most customers never do.

Still Curious
Questions that keep coming up
Can cPanel-habituated clients adjust to DirectAdmin?
Most settle in within minutes — the layout is cleaner and the everyday jobs (files, databases, mail, installers) sit on the front screen. Prefer to skip retraining entirely? Our cPanel reseller plans are available too, and we shift accounts between the two panels free.
What is the setup time for DirectAdmin reseller hosting?
The panel login reaches you within minutes. If your client account currently lives elsewhere, we copy it across first, test everything, and only then repoint the DNS.
Does DirectAdmin reseller hosting come with SSL?
Nothing to pay. Certificates install automatically and re-issue themselves comfortably ahead of expiry.
What if DirectAdmin reseller hosting does not work out for me?
There is a 7-day money-back window. Request it within those seven days and the payment returns the way it arrived — no survey, no retention pitch.
