Feel free to modify these numbers as needed. FreeBSD and Debian store mysql databases in /home/mysql/.
For CentOS 7, use the xfs quota system. If you use ext4, add use_xfs_quota=0 to the directadmin.conf.
We highly recommend a processor of at least 500 Mhz even though DirectAdmin will run on slower systems. The more cores the better.
A minimum 1 GB of memory is required (2+ GB is preferred), with at least 2 GB of swap memory. (CentOS 8: 2Gig required, 4+ Gig preferred).
A hard drive with at least 2 gigabytes of free space (after the Linux install) is also required, not including any website data.
If you are expecting high traffic levels then you will need more memory, processor power, and hard drive space than we recommend here.
Intel and AMD should work fine. Solaris/Sparc will not.

Please have Basic development/compiling tools such as gcc, g++, and perl.
***Please do not install services such as Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ftp, Sendmail, etc., as we will do this for you. All we need is a CLEAN install of your operating system.***
We do not recommend installing DirectAdmin on an existing live production server.
DirectAdmin does not convert existing data upon install.
