Introduction

Creating a reseller package in DirectAdmin enables hosting providers to define and allocate specific resources and permissions for resellers. These packages can include customizable options like disk space, bandwidth, the number of email accounts, domains, and other features that resellers can then distribute to their end-users. Proper configuration of reseller packages ensures effective resource management, improves service quality, and provides resellers with a structured, scalable environment tailored to their business needs.

DirectAdmin simplifies the process of setting up reseller packages, making it easy for administrators to create packages that suit various reseller requirements. This guide outlines the prerequisites and provides step-by-step instructions to create reseller packages efficiently.
