DirectAdmin is a graphical web-based web hosting control panel allowing administration of websites through a web browser. The software is configurable to enable standalone, reseller, and shared web hosting from a single instance. DirectAdmin also permits management of server tasks and upgrades to package software (such as Apache HTTP Server, PHP, and MySQL) from within the control panel, simplifying server and hosting configuration.

DirectAdmin is compatible with several versions of CloudLinux, Red Hat, Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Ubuntu and Debian.
