From the moment you order to ongoing weekly upkeep - our team takes care of the infrastructure so you can focus entirely on your hosting clients.
We spin up your VPS, install a clean OS, and configure the server environment before you log in.
DirectAdmin installed, licensed, and configured - DNS, mail, PHP, databases, and panel SSL - all done before handover.
Nameservers, hostname, CSF firewall, and baseline performance tuning. A fully working server from day one.
We actively monitor CPU, RAM, disk I/O and bandwidth. Anomalies get flagged and addressed by our team proactively.
Operating System security patches and software updates applied weekly during a low-traffic window.
DirectAdmin and bundled plugins (Roundcube, phpMyAdmin, etc.) updated weekly. Critical security patches are applied immediately, not held for the weekly window.
Full server backups taken weekly and stored on a separate backup node. Restore requests handled at no extra charge.
A clean, fast, and proven control panel - trusted by web hosts worldwide for managing websites, email, databases, and DNS without the bloat.
Add, remove, and configure domains and subdomains from a clean interface.
Mailboxes, forwarders, autoresponders, and spam filters per domain.
Full database management - create databases, users, and run queries via phpMyAdmin.
Browser-based file management with uploads, permissions, archive extraction, and editing.
Switch PHP versions per domain - 7.X through 8.X available via MultiPHP.
Automatic Let's Encrypt SSL for all domains, auto-renewed.
Full zone editor - A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and SPF records per domain.
Real-time graphs and Webalizer-based access logs per domain.
Create user accounts up to your license limit. Reseller mode for account delegation.
TOTP-based 2FA on admin and user panels.
Per-user and full-server backups. Restore individual accounts without a full server restore.
Full SSH and root access for the server owner. Manage the server directly alongside DA.
These add-ons can be applied to any DA VPS plan. Open a support ticket after ordering to add any of these - our team will configure and license them on your server.
Extra dedicated IPv4 addresses for hosting multiple SSL sites or services on separate IPs.
Per-account resource limits, LVE isolation, PHP Selector, and CageFS for better account security and stability.
380+ 1-click application installs - WordPress, Joomla, Magento, and more. Auto-update and staging included.
Proactive malware detection, intrusion prevention, real-time web application firewall, and reputation management.
DirectAdmin LITE allows up to 10 user accounts and 50 domains on the server. Standard (STD) allows unlimited user accounts and domains. Both include the same panel features - the difference is purely the account cap. Most small-to-medium hosts start with LITE and switch to Standard when they grow beyond 10 clients.
Yes. Open a support ticket and we will upgrade your DA license from LITE to Standard. The price difference is applied from your next billing cycle. No server downtime is required.
Provisioning, OS install, DirectAdmin installation and licensing, initial configuration (DNS, mail, PHP, CSF firewall, panel SSL), resource monitoring, weekly OS security patches, weekly DirectAdmin and plugin updates, and weekly offsite backups. You get a ready-to-use server - we maintain the layer below it.
DirectAdmin licensing is a third-party cost that we pass through at the fixed rate - $15/mo for LITE, $30/mo for Standard. We cannot offer discounts on this component. However, the VPS and management portion does get 2 months free on yearly billing.
Yes - four locations are available for DA VPS: Los Angeles, Atlanta, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam. Migrations to a different region after provisioning can be arranged via a support ticket.
Yes, full root SSH access is provided. You are free to install additional software and modify configuration files. We will still apply our weekly managed maintenance regardless.
We provision on AlmaLinux 8 or 9 - the recommended and most stable OS for DirectAdmin. CloudLinux is available as an optional add-on if you need per-account resource isolation.
No. Weekly backups are stored offsite on a separate backup node, independent of the VPS host. Restore requests are handled via a support ticket at no extra charge.
DirectAdmin natively supports reseller accounts. You can delegate a resource and account quota to a reseller, who can then create end-user accounts themselves. All plans support resellers - your license account limit applies to the total accounts across all resellers.
No setup fees, no contracts. Your first invoice covers the first billing period only. Servers are typically provisioned within 24 hours of payment. Cancel any time from your client area.
Our team can help you pick the right plan and license tier based on how many clients, domains, and sites you plan to host. Same engineers who maintain the servers - no scripts, no call centers.
