What's New in DirectAdmin: An Overview

DirectAdmin has been a leader in web hosting automation, offering a robust and reliable control panel for web hosts and resellers alike. In this major update, we’ve taken the time to listen to feedback from our global community of users, incorporating their input to develop a platform that not only meets their needs but also anticipates the evolving demands of the server management space.

 A Revamped User Interface (UI)

The most noticeable change in this version of DirectAdmin is the complete overhaul of the user interface. Our goal with this redesign was simple: make server management more intuitive, visually appealing, and easier to navigate. The new UI has been built with user-centric design principles, ensuring that everything you need is just a few clicks away.

• Modern Look and Feel: The interface now features a sleek, modern aesthetic that enhances user experience while keeping the platform’s functionality at the forefront.
• Customizable Dashboard: The new customizable dashboard enables you to tailor your workspace to your specific needs, displaying only the metrics and tools that are most relevant to your workflow.
• Quick Access: The redesigned navigation bar and menu system offer faster access to the features you use most frequently, minimizing clicks and time spent searching for essential functions.

 Enhanced Security Features

Security is a primary concern for all server administrators, and with this update, DirectAdmin goes above and beyond to ensure your server and website data are protected from the latest threats. We’ve implemented new security features that significantly enhance protection against unauthorized access and malicious activities.

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): DirectAdmin now supports two-factor authentication for added login security. This additional layer of protection ensures that even if your password is compromised, only those with access to your second factor can gain entry to the control panel.
• Automatic Security Patches: DirectAdmin now includes an option for automatic security updates, ensuring that your server is always protected against known vulnerabilities. These updates are applied seamlessly in the background, minimizing downtime and reducing manual intervention.
• Improved Brute Force Protection: With enhanced brute force detection, DirectAdmin actively monitors login attempts and locks out malicious IP addresses that exceed allowed limits. This helps prevent unauthorized access attempts before they can cause any harm.

Streamlined Server Management Tools

Managing servers can be complex, but with DirectAdmin’s improved server management tools, you’ll be able to work more efficiently and make critical decisions faster. The new tools are designed to help you monitor your server’s health, optimize its performance, and maintain maximum uptime with minimal effort.

• Advanced Resource Monitoring: Real-time resource monitoring is now more accessible than ever. The new resource monitor provides detailed insights into CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage, helping you identify and address potential bottlenecks before they impact your service.
• Server Health Alerts: With configurable health alerts, you can now receive notifications when a server’s resource usage exceeds predefined thresholds, helping you proactively address issues and ensure your server operates smoothly.
• Improved Database Management: The DirectAdmin database manager has been significantly enhanced, offering faster database operations, better error handling, and increased compatibility with modern database systems like MySQL 8.0 and MariaDB.

 Powerful Reseller Tools

For resellers, DirectAdmin provides a suite of tools designed to simplify hosting management and maximize profitability. We’ve enhanced reseller functionality with new features that make client management, billing, and support easier than ever.

• Reseller Account Templates: DirectAdmin now allows resellers to create custom account templates, making it quicker to onboard new clients. These templates can be pre-configured with hosting plans, settings, and features, saving resellers valuable time.
• Advanced Client Billing Integration: Resellers can now integrate DirectAdmin with popular billing platforms, including WHMCS, Blesta, and ClientExec, to provide seamless billing management for their clients. This integration ensures that client accounts are automatically synchronized with billing records, reducing manual work and eliminating discrepancies.
• Customizable Client Panel: The new customizable client panel lets resellers offer a branded experience for their customers. You can now modify the look and feel of the client interface to align with your brand, creating a more personalized experience for your clients.

 Powerful Email Management Features

Email continues to be an essential part of every hosting service, and DirectAdmin’s email management tools have received a major upgrade in this release. We’ve focused on making email configuration, monitoring, and management more efficient and user-friendly.

• Advanced Spam Protection: The new version of DirectAdmin integrates with advanced spam filtering services, including SpamAssassin, to help ensure that your users’ inboxes remain clean and free from unwanted mail.
• Improved Email Forwarding & Aliases: Managing email forwarding and aliases has never been easier, with new options for automatic forwarding, alias creation, and email list management, all accessible from a simplified interface.
• Detailed Email Logs: DirectAdmin now provides users with access to detailed email logs, making it easier to trace and troubleshoot email-related issues, such as delivery failures or spam filtering.

 Cloud Hosting and Virtualization Support

As cloud infrastructure becomes increasingly important in modern hosting environments, we’ve integrated new cloud hosting and virtualization capabilities into DirectAdmin. These new features make it easier to manage cloud-based servers and virtualized environments directly from the control panel.

• Cloud Server Integration: DirectAdmin now supports integration with major cloud providers, allowing you to manage your cloud-based virtual servers (VPS) alongside your traditional dedicated hosting environments. You can easily spin up new instances, scale resources, and monitor performance from within the same interface.
• Virtualization Management: DirectAdmin has added features for managing virtualized environments such as KVM and OpenVZ. Administrators can create, start, stop, and monitor virtual machines (VMs) directly from the control panel, streamlining the management of large server farms.

 Multi-Language Support

DirectAdmin now supports multiple languages, allowing system administrators and end users from all around the world to interact with the platform in their native tongue. Whether you speak Spanish, French, Chinese, or any other supported language, you can expect a seamless and localized experience throughout the platform.

• New Language Options: We’ve expanded language options to make DirectAdmin even more accessible to a global audience. Now, users can select their preferred language for the interface, making it easier to navigate and configure the platform without language barriers.
• Language Packs: Administrators can also install additional language packs and configure the default language for their customers, ensuring that everyone on the server is working with the most comfortable interface possible.
