Unlike resource-intensive control panels, you can manage your websites, databases, emails, and more with DirectAdmin's quick, responsive, and secure interface.
The DirectAdmin control panel is a good choice if you manage several domains, run a single blog, or provide hosting services to customers. It's also the wise option for developers, resellers, and website owners due to its dedicated IP address, complete root access, and lightning-fast performance.

With the power of VPS, DirectAdmin hosting gives you full control and fast performance. At Bacloud, you also get a dedicated IP address, SSD storage, and 24/7 support.
Choosing between DirectAdmin vs cPanel depends on your needs and preferences. Both are popular control panels used by beginners and professionals, but they differ in functionality, user experience, and pricing.
cPanel includes advanced tools for managing complex websites and servers. You’ll get full control over files, emails, databases, DNS records, backups, security, and more. It’s ideal for users who want a feature-rich environment.
DirectAdmin, on the other hand, offers all essential tools while maintaining a lighter system footprint. It allows you to manage your files, domains, DNS records, databases, and emails efficiently. It also supports DirectAdmin Linux servers and integrates well with common CMS platforms like WordPress.
cPanel has a modern graphical interface with icons and categorized sections. It might be slightly overwhelming for first-time users, but once you get used to it, it’s easy to manage even advanced configurations.
DirectAdmin focuses on simplicity. It's clean and minimal UI makes navigating easier for users who prefer speed and clarity over flashy visuals. It's ideal if you want quick access to core features without clutter.
cPanel licenses are typically more expensive, especially for hosting providers managing multiple accounts. The pricing model is tiered, based on the number of accounts per server.
DirectAdmin is a more cost-effective solution. Its affordable licensing makes it a smart choice for developers, small businesses, and hosting resellers looking to reduce costs without sacrificing essential features.
cPanel can use more system resources, which might affect performance on lower-end VPS plans, especially when running multiple websites or applications.
DirectAdmin is lightweight and efficient. It delivers faster load times and smoother performance, even on minimal setups. If you’re running a budget VPS or prioritizing speed and simplicity, DirectAdmin is a perfect fit.
