How to Log In to the DirectAdmin Control Panel #

DirectAdmin is the control panel used to manage your website hosting — email accounts, FTP access, databases, domains, backups, and more — all from one dashboard.

How to Log In #

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel by accessing https://yourdomain:2222
2. Enter the username and password sent to you in your welcome email when you signed up.

Note that your DirectAdmin username and password are NOT the same as those used to log in to this support portal — they’re separate systems.
