DirectAdmin is a commercial web hosting control panel for Linux servers. A DirectAdmin license allows you to install and run DirectAdmin/WHM on your VPS or dedicated server, giving you a graphical interface to manage websites, email, databases, DNS, FTP, SSL, and reseller accounts. Every server running DirectAdmin requires a valid paid license. OBHost sells official DirectAdmin licenses at discounted partner prices.

Personal Plus ($5/mo) — 2 accounts, 20 domains. Ideal for developers or small businesses managing their own sites. Includes installation technical support and Pro Pack. Lite ($15/mo) — 10 accounts, 50 domains. Perfect for small hosting companies or agencies. Includes unlimited technical support and free installation. Standard ($29/mo) — unlimited accounts and domains. Best for web hosting businesses, resellers, and large agencies. Includes everything in Lite plus no limits on scale.

Yes. DirectAdmin is a server-level control panel that requires a Linux VPS or dedicated server with full root access (AlmaLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS). It cannot be installed on shared hosting. OBHost offers KVM Linux VPS plans starting from competitive prices — all based in Germany with NVMe SSD storage and full root access, compatible with all DirectAdmin license tiers.

All DirectAdmin retail licenses include contractual protection against arbitrary price increases. This means DirectAdmin cannot unilaterally raise your license price — a significant benefit compared to cPanel which has had several major price increases since 2019. Your DirectAdmin license price is locked in, with only extraordinary global economic events as exceptions.

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.

Yes. OBHost is a certified DirectAdmin partner and official license reseller. All DirectAdmin licenses sold through OBHost are genuine and identical to purchasing directly from DirectAdmin.com — at a discounted partner price. You receive full DirectAdmin support, automatic updates, and all standard features.
