Hi guys

We want to transfer accounts from cPanel to Directadmin. But I would like to keep the package names the same.

Currently we use something like

hostking_cpanel_starter_2021

but

Directadmin has a limit of 20 characters. How could I increase this limitation?

Thanks
 
Increase Username length

package names length larger than 20, In the past I don't see options like this before

but you can simple create package and change name it directly in
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/{reseller}/packages
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/{reseller}/packages.list

I wouldn't just do that. Because if there is a limit of 20 chars and you are going to name them longer via the files used, this could result in to shorter names in the panel anyway or maybe odd issues with backups/restore.

So I would look if those names can't be increase in some official way and if that is not possible, decrease your names. For example loose the year. Change cpanel to "da" because you ain't on cpanel anymore, seems more logic. And the name is shorter.
 
Thanks to both of you

I did try it an it worked perfectly.

Although to play safe I know of a way in doing it on cPanel so will do it there rather
