@DA_Mark Any plans to start supporting multi-languages officially ?
A panel as popular and well spread as DirectAdmin (Soon might as well become #1) shouldn't rely on community support only for this important key feature (Localization).
At least the panel should support the 10 most common ones.

https://blog.cpanel.com/localization-more-languages-better-quality/
I think they are already working on it https://translate.directadmin.com/
This is a community based work... in fact I'm one of the translators for one of the languages there !
@PandoGulf Translations is a universal feature (not Pro Pack) but it's a perfect example of how we are trying to do the best we can with the resources we have.
A fully multilingual interface has been requested for a long time, but with a core of lifetime and insanely discounted DC licenses, retaining a group of translators isn't really that practical. Or at least, we would rather use our limited resources for other things.
For the most part, most were fine with this explanation They were more than willing to do some typing so they could offer their customers DA in their local language. The problem was that we didn't give them the means to do it.
So translate.directadmin.com solves that part of it. Anyone can make any translation a reality, upload/download translations, and implement them without delay (waiting for us to step in and do something). It's a fully real-time system.
Now.. to have a group of the world's most popular languages always there, always updated -- not a bad request at all. It's just a matter of priorities, since there is only so much we can do. But these are good things to bring up because we certainly wish to do a good job on the core, not leave it behind in favor of the Pro Pack. In fact our next release will have good stuff for all. We plan to prove this Pro Pack thing doesn't mean slacking off.
@DA_MARK - Looking forward to the Pro Pack.
Does DA have a recommended O/S these days to be compatible with all the new features coming etc... ?

If the per-user resource throttling is important, make sure to use any OS we list at the beginning of: https://docs.directadmin.com/other-hosting-services/pro-resource-throttling/general
Honestly, pick the OS you are most at home with. Many are still surprised we've supported Debian/Ubuntu for a decade -- so it's a very stable option for those who prefer it.
FreeBSD is the only one that isn't compatible with all the new features.
You have added this recently to your site:
Could you explain:
Sorry for OT, but these conditions need some clarification.
Totally OT -- feel free take it to our feedback thread instead. I believe the merits (if any) of such price statements were discussed there already. Pro Pack thread isn't best for rehashing older OT discussions.
It wouldn't have taken more text symbols to answer all these instead of directing me nowhere, but it's ok, not the first time. I don't know how standard Linux features you implemented actually almost the last from control panels and called as "Pro Pack" can be more important than the product price itself, but we are free to have our own priorities. Sorry for intervention.
New Resource Limiting features relay on systemd cgroups integration
with Centos 8 you will get version 239 (you will be stuck with that for a long) waiting RH to backport solutions to an issue so the forks backport it ...
with Ubuntu 20.04 it is 245
Debian 10 is using 241 but will catch up in several months with official release of 11...
(Going with Debian/Ubuntu you will have the option for in place OS upgrade https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/dist-upgrade-from-debian-5-to-6.40606/post-221826
P.S. Since half decade ago majority of OpenStack Clouds are Ubuntu Based so let's do not open the topic for if Ubuntu is ok servers ... half of super stable centos VMs relay on kernel virtual machine from the ubuntu kernel
The Only reason we mass use Centos and Cloudlinux to choose to be RH based is cPanel dominance in the industry in the last decade...
^ Relay?
Debian vs Ubuntu = no contest; KISS and sod snap et al.
End goal is to stop user abusing resources, sometimes its bad script and sometimes user is intentionally running intensive queries on shared resources which is ok for short period but not for long period.
I suppose last two can be more effective specially "max time any query can be executed" as it will save against badly formatted queries hogging up resources.
Has anyone tried to update to latest release with their provider's internal license??
I see the section "Nginx Rewrite" enables on user level but it says "nginx template not enabled in your license"
Seems like Internal licenses (i.e. the one you get from your VPS/Dedi providers) may not be getting pro-pack. Their is no pricing info as of yet. I wish they would make the info public.
I believe the pro pack is a work in progress and so is the pricing.
I do hope that this becomes a value added option for dc license . Maybe with discount, maybe without a discount. But it is definitely a good option to have .
100% agree!
Nothing on the Pro Pack so far.
I want to convert multiple cP VPS licenses to DA but I am stuck with this one. Without ProPack, it makes no sense. (i.e. without Nginx Templates, I don't need anything else out of it) And looks like no Pro Pack for internal licnese. (For Server providers)
At the same time, cPanel has introduced Nginx proxy as well. And so far in my testing, it's kind of working out of the box. (mainly for the cache part).
Come on DA .. give some updates.
Direct Admin's newest beta has only released a part of the Pro Pack, patience is a virtue. You can't yet purchase what's not yet released. The Pro Pack will work as an addon to your provider's datacenter DA license.
Correct me if I'm wrong please @DA_Mark
So far I read it as you need one of their retail licenses or paying support for your owned one. So at the minute you need to get a license directly from DA for pro pack.
I get it, probably need to wait for actual release of ProPack. But so far the info they have given, it seems like provider's "Internal License" will not get ProPack and only license received directly from DA. I am saying that because I have few VPS with DA Internal license from provider and with new DA version, The Nginx rewrite URL option gives "Nginx Template is not enabled in your license"
So I am wondering what it's going to be. I was planning on shifting all my cPanel VPS to DA and have been waiting for it but if it's not included with Internal license, its not going to be cost effecting for me. I only have couple of domains per VPS.
Also just to be clear, I do not get DA free from my provider. I pay a monthly license fee there as well. (Obviously less than cPanel VPS licnese).
I have asked DA support as well and so far it seems like Internal licenses are not going to it. I was really looking forward to it.
Also with cPanel's new Nginx as proxy option (which works out of the box and gives you decent control / info without changing anything) it looks better for site performance. (i.e. compare to cP with Apache only).
With DA, you do get Nginx stand alone option or use it as proxy but Nginx cache doesn't work out of the box. (Not without error here and there).
Yea and this will probably make sense if you have lots of accounts on the server / VPS.
For people without only hosting few server per server, its going to cost more with DA than cPanel.
(Lets say you have 5 VPS that you need on different places and each hosting less than 30 accounts).
Th retail DA is still cheaper than cPanel. Just get a license direct.
Dear @smtalk or @DA_Mark, please would you be willing to clarify the above question if we can pay the extra to have the pro-pack added to a Direct Admin internal Datacenter license that comes with the server we're renting? Or can the datacenter pay to have it added to that same internal Datacenter license they've assigned to our server?
(Not free of course but by paying. Wouldn't this be a great way to make internal Datacenter licenses profitable again?)
There isn't a way to add it to someone else's license. It would be better to cancel the existing license and have your DC provision a retail license instead (which they can get at a discount, albeit not a dramatic one). If it's a legacy lifetime, I suppose they could add a support extension to it as another option (but that requires a yearly payment).
We're still figuring it out, but so far there two main camps. One wants cheap cheap cheap, and I don't mean it in a condescending way. It's just that group of people who thinks that a paid panel should be a small expense -- not a huge portion of the server cost. DA core is best for this. Almost 20 years later, our revised internal pricing for is even better than the past, in most ways.
The other camp wants something that can compete with the main panel out there, and they realize we can't take "a few bucks" and match something that people are paying $50-$100+/mo for. I think this group is more likely to find our retail pricing fair, especially when we're adding in the Pro Pack to it at no extra cost.
All feedback welcome though. It's just tough to find a middle ground for this one.
If my DA license doesn't come with Marks personal cell phone number and Facebook ID, I WANT REFUND!
What's the ETA of releasing the Pro Pack ? @DA_Mark
CloudStack also loves Ubuntu.
@seriesn I'm not talking to you after you suspended my a friend's NexusBytes storage VPS for seedboxing and Chia mining.
@Mahfuz_SS_EHL it's going to be a continuous development of ongoing features so I can't give any firm dates. We just finished e-mail track & trace (it's in the pre-release). GIT manager is next (#1 upvoted request on feedback.directadmin.com right now). We're moving forward on some other stuff too, but rushing is not an option. We really want this stuff to feel premium.
But, do you have any timeline in mind that you'll try to complete it by 2021 or by 2022 ?
