## Notes

DirectAdmin is a control panel installed on a server you supply—most commonly a VPS or dedicated machine—and manages websites, domains, email accounts, databases and application deployments through a web interface. The licence is tied to the server and priced by the number of user accounts it manages, from a single-account tier up to unlimited. Users can manage WordPress installations, handle SSL certificates, configure DNS and manage backups through the control panel.

The software runs on Linux and has been developed by JBMC Software in Edmonton since 2003. Support is available by email and through an active community forum, with direct support included on paid tiers. The company operates during North American business hours.
