We are seeking a highly skilled DirectAdmin expert to perform a complete installation, configuration, and optimization of the DirectAdmin control panel on our production servers.

Hosting Environment Setup:

Configure user packages, reseller accounts, and individual user accounts within DirectAdmin.
Set up domain creation,



DNS management (including SPF, DKIM, DMARC records), and SSL certificate provisioning (e.g., Let's Encrypt) for hosted domains.
Configure FTP access, cron jobs, and database management for end-users.

Security & Performance Optimization:
Implement advanced security measures, including firewall configuration (e.g., CSF/LFD), brute-force protection (e.g., Fail2Ban), and regular security updates for all server components.
Optimize server performance for high traffic, including web server tuning, PHP optimization, and database caching strategies.
Configure automated daily/weekly backups for all DirectAdmin accounts (files, databases, emails).
Ensure proper resource limits and isolation for hosted accounts.
Migration & Documentation (if applicable):

If required, perform seamless migration of existing websites and data from a previous hosting environment to the new DirectAdmin setup with minimal downtime.
