Administrator Settings 

From the main Administrator menu, click the "Administrator Settings" link.  You will see a page that looks like this:

Administrator Settings

Check the first box if you want DirectAdmin to notify all Admins when a service goes down.  This notification will be sent through the message system.  We suggest that Admins set an e-mail address in the message system as well, so that notifications will reach you even when you aren't signed into the control panel.

The next three checkboxes are used to enable and disable the DirectAdmin demo.  The demo is useful for showing others how the control panel functions, without giving them access to make any changes.  For example, you may want to enable the User Demo so that your Resellers have a way of demonstrating the control panel to their prospective customers.

Server Settings

The Server's Name should be the primary domain of the server. E.g. server5.hostingcompany.com, garys-site.com, etc.  This name must resolve.

The NS1/NS2 fields define the default (or primary) nameservers for the server.  These generally take the form of ns1/ns2.server-name.com.

The Timeout refers to the amount of time given for a command to execute (e.g. sign-in after username/password have been submitted, loading the statistics page, etc).

The Max File Upload Size refers to the maximum file size that can be uploaded through the control panel.  The default is set at 10 megabytes.
