DirectAdmin Reviews & Product Details

Security is a priority and very easy to manage files, and uploading of the website is super cool in the direct admin panel compared to the control panel, easy to customize and add own logo for branding and marketing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software lacks enough documentation and resources, making it difficult to run commands, and the support team takes a longer time to respond to technical inquiries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Direct Admin is the whole lot of extra settings you can do regarding out of office on your imap or pop3 mailbox. Next to that you can create template customers regarding the size of the hosting package. Ideal to setup multiple products on one platform.

Further more the tech is quite basic, we can let junior admins manage the DNS, mailboxes, websites etc. There is no senior admin needed to do all the administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is noting to dislike on direct admin. If I have to name one its the dash you might forget to tick if you employ your own on premise exchange server but host your site and contact form on direct admin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have worked on the Directadmin console for more than 3 years and I love everything about it. It is so clean and user-friendly even for people who are not from a SysAdmin background. People can still manage their hosting environment easily and yet it is very affordable. It's lighter than the others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None, they should keep working on improvements and keep adding new and relevant features to make life easy for the people who are new to the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything, because it does everything well that a web hosting control panel should do. All the basic and advanced features are present, which helps hosting companies to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not much to dislike. But there are few important things that it does not have, probably because lot of people has moved from cPanel, so some features such as CloudFlare Integration is not present in DirectAdmin, which makes lot of things to be done manually. Backup system is fine, but we think that there could be more features in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DirectAdmin is the cheapest among the top control panels but does not lack functionality, it offers even more than competition. It has a simple user interface that offers all the functions a basic user or a superuser needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
