Billing system, clients and sites management, plugins management, bulk WP core updates etc from a unique dashboard.
An all-in-one tool to manage everything in a single place.
Sell pre-made WordPress blueprints or templates (ready-to-use websites) to your customers using a WaaS model, or offer a standard WordPress installation — both with instant deployment and no manual setup required. Let customers purchase and install only the plugins you provide at your set prices, and give them the option to buy and connect their own domain name.
You can freely choose to enable either WaaS or SaaS option for your own hosting plans:
WaaS (Website as a Service): Fully managed WordPress, no access to files, database, or control panel; users work only with agency-approved themes and plugins. SaaS (Self-Managed WordPress): Semi-managed WordPress with access to files, database, and control panel; more flexibility but still limited to agency-approved plugins.
Key Benefit: To protect your server performance and security, end users can only install or buy the plugins/themes you make available. This prevents heavy or insecure plugins from being added.
Grow your revenue by offering your clients high-performance hosting built for scale & security under your brand & domain. Define your own price autonomously!
You can set your own prices for optional services too such as backups, SSL certificates and disk upgrades. Control theme availability by enabling or disabling theme purchase option per plan.

AreaWP is a unified WordPress solution that enables agencies to manage client sites, billing, plugin deployments, updates, hosting, and white-label services from a single interface. This approach eliminates the need to juggle multiple tools and services, simplifying operations and saving time.
Website-as-a-Service (WaaS) is a model that lets you create and sell fully pre-made WordPress websites, known as templates or blueprints. These are turnkey solutions—ready to launch instantly—with automated sales, setup, and deployment. Unlike WordPress multisite, each website runs as an independent installation, powered by the DirectAdmin control panel for hosting and management. As an alternative to WaaS, you can use the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) option, which provides customers with a clean, default WordPress installation along with DirectAdmin credentials. This gives them more flexibility while still allowing you to control available plugins and services.
A template (also called a blueprint) is a pre-made WordPress website that comes fully designed and configured, ready for immediate use. Templates allow you to quickly launch a site without building everything from scratch—simply choose the layout, content structure, and functionality that best fit your needs. You can sell these templates to your customers using a Website as a Service (WaaS) model, giving them access to instant deployment with no manual WordPress installation required. As an alternative, you can sell a standard WordPress installation that also supports instant deployment. In this case, customers receive a clean WordPress setup instead of a pre-built design.
Self-Hosted: Install the source code on your own server, DirectAdmin license required and needs to be bought separately from the official website. Hosted: Platform along your clients will be installed on a isolated server fully dedicated to you (dedicated IP and resources). You can choose the resources autonomously in the purchase stage, upgrade anytime and benefit of vertical autoscaling feature (DirectAdmin is included).
Since everyone's websites are different (plugins, themes, traffic etc), it’s not possible to give an accurate answer. However, a good rule for a well optimized server and websites is 8-10 sites per 1GB of RAM. This means you can host roughly 15-20 websites on a 2GB RAM server, and 30-40 on a 4GB RAM server etc. Please note also that a minimum 4 GB of memory is required for DirectAdmin to run smoothly, so consider min 4GB RAM + additional RAM based on websites that you're going to host. We highly recommend finally a processor of at least 500 Mhz even though DirectAdmin will run on slower systems. The more cores the better.
Email is a specialized service and it’s not included in any of our plans. This means that your clients may need to use a service like Google Workspace, Outlook or Zoho for their business email.
Definitely! You'll be able to integrate your PayPal and/or Stripe account from your own dashboard.
