Why DirectAdmin
Lower cost of goods, better margin
A panel that keeps out of the way
DirectAdmin was drawn lean from the first line. Screens load quickly, little is wasted, and the panel stays responsive for you and your clients even on a busy server.
A smaller licence bill underneath
A trimmer panel costs less to licence, and that saving goes into the shelf price rather than our pocket. Your margin is wider for it.
Every screen under your name
With private nameservers and your own branding in place, a customer meets your company and nobody else — not us, and not the firm that wrote the panel.
Reseller tools that earn their keep
Build packages, cap resources, pause or upgrade an account, and keep an eye on every customer from one tidy reseller dashboard.
Hundreds of customers, one pool
Take on as many customer accounts as your resource pool carries, with overselling switched on so every gigabyte works harder.
A certificate on every site
Each client site under your reseller account gets free SSL that renews itself — one less thing your customers ever have to ask about.
What It Costs You
Buy your stock cheaper, keep the difference
The saving on a lighter licence goes to you rather than into our accounts. You pay a low monthly base and a small fee per active client, so the outgoings climb only when the takings do — and there is more room in every sale to price it your way.
- A smaller licence means a smaller base price
- $0.40 for each live client account
- Empty accounts cost you nothing at all
- A margin you can quote with confidence
Your Brand
Your name from the sign to the receipt
Point the nameservers, add the branding, and the whole thing becomes yours. Customers order, log in and run their sites under your company name, while the hardware and the panel maker stay firmly behind the curtain.
- Nameservers like ns1.yourbrand.com
- Your logo and your company name
- Packages and prices you write yourself
- Nothing on screen points back to us
Built For Resellers
What you need to run the counter

Every reseller account sits on NVMe SSD storage, so the sites you host load fast and score well for it.

FAQ
DirectAdmin reselling, answered
What am I buying with a DirectAdmin reseller plan?
A DirectAdmin reseller panel you use to build and run hosting accounts for your own customers. The packages and the price tags are yours to write, the sale is yours to keep, and the servers underneath stay our job.
Why is DirectAdmin cheaper to run than the bigger panels?
It asks less of the machine and carries a smaller licence fee. That efficiency is exactly what lets us mark these tiers lower without anything feeling slower for you or the people you sell to.
Can the whole thing carry my branding?
It can. Private nameservers and your own logo mean a customer only ever reads your company name. Ours stays out of sight, and so does the panel maker's.
How many clients am I allowed to take on?
As many as your resource pool will carry, and overselling is switched on to stretch that further. There is no per-account ceiling written into the plan, so sign people up as fast as you can find them.
Do I need to buy a DirectAdmin licence of my own?
No. The licence is already inside every reseller tier at no extra charge, so there is nothing separate to buy, install or renew each year.
What happens when the client list outgrows my tier?
Move up to a larger reseller tier the moment you want more storage or bandwidth. Every client account you have already built comes with you exactly as it is — there is no migration to run.
Start selling on the lighter panel.
A smaller licence bill, branding that is entirely yours, and the DirectAdmin licence already in the price.
Start ResellingDirectAdmin does the same job as the heavier panels with less weight on the server and less cost on the licence. Both of those turn up in your margin. Underneath your client account sit NVMe drives, LiteSpeed caching and a 99.9% uptime SLA that our monitoring desk is measured against.
It suits resellers keeping an eye on licence costs, and the useful parts are on the shelf rather than behind an upsell: free SSL on every domain, the migration done by our team, backups taken daily, and support you can reach at any hour.
A lighter panel and a lighter licence
Reseller level in DirectAdmin gives you packages, quotas, suspensions and DNS, while clients get a quick interface with file management, databases, mail and one-click installs. It leans on the server far less than the heavyweight panels, which leaves more of the machine for the sites themselves.
The hardware does the heavy lifting: 100% NVMe storage, LiteSpeed serving over HTTP/2, and a 99.9% uptime SLA our monitoring desk answers for. Quick pages keep visitors and search engines equally content.
Where the saving actually comes from
There is no second price waiting in year two. What the tag says is what the invoice says, this term and the next, and any introductory rate carries its renewal figure beside it. Reseller plans carry a 7-day money-back window, and asking inside it is all it takes.
Panel licensing is one of the quiet costs of reselling. DirectAdmin's is lower, we do not mark it up on a separate line, and the plan price carries it — so doubling your client list does not double your overheads.
DirectAdmin on our hardware
DirectAdmin runs on the same NVMe and LiteSpeed platform as everything else we sell, in tier-3 halls with edge DDoS filtering and daily backups. The panel is light; the hardware underneath is not.
Nobody here waits for a customer to report an outage. Monitoring watches the fleet minute by minute and wakes an engineer first, so you usually hear about the fix rather than the fault.
- DirectAdmin reseller level with full package control
- Lower licence overhead than the heavy panels
- Conditioned power and more than one network path
- Hardware we own, maintain and replace
Worth Knowing
More of what comes with it
Less panel, more server
DirectAdmin's small footprint leaves more CPU and memory for the client sites you actually sell.
Renewal-safe pricing
What you pay this year is what you pay the next. That is the whole policy.
99.9% uptime, in writing
The uptime figure sits in the SLA rather than in the marketing, and the monitoring desk answers for it.
A panel that makes sense
Everything you need day to day is two clicks away, and none of it is hidden behind a higher tier.
Move up without moving out
Bigger plans are one confirmation away, and you only pay the difference from the day you switch.
Nothing holding you here
Standard backups and standard panels mean you can leave whenever you like. Most people simply do not.

Still Asking
A few more we hear often
Will clients used to cPanel find their way around DirectAdmin?
Most manage it in a few minutes — the layout is simpler and the common jobs (files, databases, mail, installers) sit on the first screen. If you would rather not retrain anyone, our cPanel reseller plans are on the shelf too, and we move accounts between the two for free.
How long does setting up DirectAdmin reseller hosting take?
You will be logging into the panel within minutes. If your client account lives somewhere else today, we copy it here first, test it, and only then move the DNS.
Is SSL included with DirectAdmin reseller hosting?
No charge. The certificate is fitted automatically and reissues itself well before it expires.
What if DirectAdmin reseller hosting is not the right fit?
You have a 7-day money-back window. Ask inside those seven days and the money goes back the way it came — no questionnaire, and no pitch about staying.
