How to access the DirectAdmin panel

Introduction

To manage your hosting account in DirectAdmin, the first step is knowing the correct access URL and your login credentials.

In most cases you can access it from the server address, a specific panel URL or the service activation email sent by miHosting.

Common ways to access DirectAdmin

You may be able to enter through one of these routes:

1. A panel URL sent in the activation email.
2. The server IP with the DirectAdmin port.
3. A host name provided with the hosting account.

Which details do you need?

Usually you need:

• The DirectAdmin access URL.
• Your DirectAdmin username.
• Your password.

What if you cannot sign in?

Check these points:

• The username and password are correct.
• You are using the right panel URL.
• Your browser is not filling in an old password.
• The service is already active.

Conclusion

If you keep the activation message and the correct credentials at hand, accessing DirectAdmin is usually straightforward. When the panel does not open, the cause is often an incorrect URL, wrong password or outdated saved login.
