About DirectAdmin VPS

Prepared by
Jeffrey Thomas Baygents
documenting DirectAdmin VPS and self‑managed hosting systems.

DirectAdmin VPS provides practical, step-by-step guidance for building, securing, and operating a self-managed VPS using DirectAdmin.

The focus is on predictable, repeatable infrastructure: provisioning a VPS, installing DirectAdmin correctly, configuring core services, and maintaining the system over time with clear checklists and verification steps. Guides emphasize stability, clarity, and recovery rather than shortcuts or one-off fixes.

This site covers the full lifecycle of a DirectAdmin-based VPS, including:

  • VPS provisioning and operating system setup
  • DirectAdmin installation and baseline configuration
  • DNS, SSL, and email deliverability configuration
  • Backups, updates, and routine maintenance
  • Security hardening and disaster recovery basics

The guides are written for solo administrators and builders who want hands-on control without the cost of fully managed hosting, and who value documented steps and predictable outcomes.

Scope Boundary

DirectAdminVPS.com documents infrastructure‑level work only: provisioning, securing, and operating an unmanaged VPS using DirectAdmin. Once the server is stable and application‑ready, this site intentionally stops. WordPress installation, Bricks workflows, and site‑level operations continue separately at WordPressBricks.com, keeping infrastructure and application responsibilities clearly separated.
