Personal Plus License - 2 admins? 2 VPS? How to add...

[jeffbaygents]

I'm unclear if I can create 2 different admin accounts under a single personal plus license. Also, can 1 admin belong to 1 VPS and another admin belong to a different VPS? And, if 2 VPS are allowed, how do I install DirectAdmin on the 2nd VPS., i.e., do I use the same license info on both? Or, do I create a new client in my account... Just unsure. Please advise. Thanks.

Per VPS / Dedicated server you need an unique license.
So if you have 2 VPS servers, you need to buy 2 licenses.

With the Personal Plus License, you can have a maximum of 2 users, that means 1 = admin, and the other one being whatever you want.

As Ericosman said, 1 account will be main admin, second can be what you want. Very handy if you do managed services for clients. You can retain the admin account, and setup the user account with services on for the client. Bit of damage limitation in that sense. You also get 20 domains per licence, (10 max per domain) but if you use a few Personal licences like I do for DNS servers, you can host unlimited DNS records. Very handy feature with the multi-server setup.

You mean 10 per user. However this is not really true. You can devide it this way, but the first part is correct. It's 20 domains per license.
You can also choose to have 19 domains on 1 user and 1 domain on another user, or even don't use a second user and you have all 20 domains.

@jeffbaygents as you could read, it's your choice, you can just create the 2nd user also as admin.

Cheers Richard! I knew what I meant

And thank you, I honestly thought it was 10 domains max per account! Not that i've ever used that many. Think I've setup 3 domains on 1 account before for a good customer who wanted his .co.uk .uk and .com addresses all on same account.

Thanks VERY much ericosman! Your explanation clarified my last unknown about the Personal Plus licensing.
