How do I sign in to my DirectAdmin panel?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "DirectAdmin is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- Open the link in the Panel address row. This address is a one-time setup page. Once the panel is installed, you sign in with the Login and Password rows.
License and finishing the install
DirectAdmin does not install without a license. Your server waits with its installer open and ready:
- Enter the license key you got from DirectAdmin on the page that opens.
- Installation runs in your browser. When it ends, sign in to the panel on port 2222.
The license fee is not part of your order and is paid directly to DirectAdmin. Your license must list this server's IP address.
Good to know
- DirectAdmin needs at least 4 GB of memory and 4 GB of swap. The swap is created during setup.
- When installation ends, DirectAdmin installs and manages its own firewall (CSF).
No server yet? Order a server with DirectAdmin installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
