DirectAdmin is another web-based web hosting control panel designed to make the administration of websites easier. It is compatible with several versions of Red Hat, Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and Debian. This article shows the DirectAdmin demo. The demo mode is a useful tool to demonstrate the features of the control panel, without allowing access to anyone who could make unauthorized changes to the panel.
When you install DirectAdmin, it will install the following in your system :
| DirectAdmin | Control Panel Software |
