DirectAdmin is a commercial Linux web hosting control panel. A DirectAdmin license lets you install and run the panel on your VPS or dedicated server, giving you a full graphical interface to manage websites, email, MySQL databases, DNS, FTP, SSL, and reseller accounts. Every server running DirectAdmin requires a valid active license. OBHost sells genuine DirectAdmin licenses at discounted partner pricing, identical in features to buying directly from DirectAdmin.com.

Yes. DirectAdmin is a server-level control panel that requires a Linux VPS or dedicated server with full root access. Supported distributions include AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, and CentOS. It cannot run on shared hosting. OBHost offers KVM Linux VPS plans hosted in Germany with NVMe SSD storage and full root access all compatible with every DirectAdmin license tier from Personal to Standard.

All DirectAdmin retail licenses include contractual price-lock protection. DirectAdmin cannot unilaterally increase your license fee a major advantage over cPanel, which raised prices multiple times after 2019 with little notice. Your DirectAdmin license cost stays fixed except in extraordinary global economic circumstances, giving you predictable long-term hosting infrastructure costs.

DirectAdmin is significantly cheaper than cPanel (Standard $29/mo vs cPanel Premier $69.99/mo for similar scale), uses fewer server resources, and includes price-increase protection. cPanel has more third-party integrations and a larger ecosystem, but for most web hosting use cases, DirectAdmin covers everything needed at a much lower cost. OBHost also offers cPanel licenses if you prefer cPanel.
