Streamline tedious server management tasks while empowering your users to manage every part of their website with simple, point-and-click software. cPanel & WHM is a suite of tools built for Linux operating systems that allows you to automate web hosting tasks through an easy-to-use graphical interface. It removes the complexity of creating server configurations and includes automatic updates, built-in backups, and the tools you need to get up and running. Its goal is to make server management easier for you and website management easier for your customers.
DirectAdmin Pricing
Prices are monthly. You can upgrade or downgrade from within your account manager, or open a ticket and we can make the change for you. New licenses can be purchased during checkout, from the account manager, or by opening a support ticket. We only sell DirectAdmin licenses to customers using Web Host Pro at this time. We do not currently sell external licenses. Prices may change without notice based on DirectAdmin pricing updates. You may also purchase a DirectAdmin license directly from DirectAdmin or another source and use it with Web Host Pro.
