A modern control panel’s primary purpose is to effectively facilitate the routine management of your hosting infrastructure and present these tasks simply and intuitively to both the user and to you as the administrator.
While many available control panels claim to do just that, DirectAdmin offers many features that you just won’t find elsewhere, making the DirectAdmin experience truly unique.
DirectAdmin offers 3 access levels: Admin, Reseller, User. You can also check their website: www.directadmin.com
