DirectAdmin Admin CustomBuild Software Updates

Every server requires software updates from time to time in order to patch bugs and release new features. In DirectAdmin, this is called CustomBuild and updates can be installed through the control panel of your VPS by logging in as the Admin.

Once you are logged in, either scroll down to the Extra Features section to locate the CustomBuild icon or use the search bar and type in CustomBuild and select the link.

If you are scrolling down the main page to the Extra Features section, you will see a row of icons shown below. If there are any updates available, a notice will be displayed along with the number of updates.
