How to log into the web hosting control panel Print

  • 36

The control panel is where you can manage your web and email hosting. Using the DirectAdmin control panel you can create and manage your email accounts, email forwarders, out of office replies, databases, FTP access, password protected directories, sub domains, additional websites and so much more.

There are two ways to login. You can login to the control panel directly, or through this support portal.

To login directly
If you know the username and password for the control panel (which is not the same as your support portal login) then you can login directly:

To log in go to:

https://controlpanel.securewebhosting.co.nz:2222

Your user name and password will have been sent to you in a welcome email when you joined.

Note that your DirectAdmin control panel username and password is NOT the same as that used to log into this support portal.

To login through this support portal
If you do not know your control panel password then you can access the control panel through this support portal.

  1. First login to this support portal if you haven't already. If you have forgotten your support portal login, use the forgot password feature on the login screen.
  2. Click on Products & Services -> My Services. A table of the services you have with us will be shown.
  3. Click on your web or email hosting service.
  4. Click on the Login to Control Panel button. 

How to reset your control panel password
It is useful to know your control panel username and password since this is needed for FTP and SSH access.

If you would like to reset your control panel password:

  1. Log into this support portal if you haven't already
  2. Click on Products & Services -> My Services. A table of the services you have with us will be shown.
  3. Click on your web or email hosting service.
