Every hosting package includes a full control panel. Manage your domains, email addresses, databases and files — clearly organised, directly from your browser.
Both DirectAdmin and Plesk offer a complete set of management tools — these are the features you will use on a daily basis.
Add domains and subdomains, link them to the correct directory and set up redirects. Everything is active immediately and visible in your control panel — no need to contact us or install anything.
Create professional email addresses on your own domain name. Set up forwarding rules, spam filters and auto-replies — directly via the control panel, without any outside assistance.
Upload and manage files using the built-in file manager. Via Installatron, you can install WordPress, Joomla or other applications with a single click — no FTP or technical knowledge required.
Create MariaDB databases and manage users and access rights easily via the control panel. With phpMyAdmin, you can view and edit the contents of your databases without any technical knowledge.
Activate a free SSL certificate for your domain in just a few clicks via the control panel. Your website will then be accessible via HTTPS — secure for your visitors and better for Google.
View available backups and restore files, databases or your entire environment via the control panel. For Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting, this is handled via JetBackup.
Manage your DNS records directly via the control panel. Link your domain to external services, set up MX records for email, add verification records or edit existing records with ease.
With WordPress Hosting, you manage WordPress directly via Plesk and WordPress Toolkit — updates, staging, cloning and security in one place. For other packages, WordPress management is handled via Installatron.
Your control panel is the central place from which you manage your hosting environment — clearly organised, accessible and always available via your browser.
Whether you are creating a new email address, adding a domain or restoring a backup — you do it yourself, directly from the control panel. With our Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting and Email packages, that is DirectAdmin: a fast, well-organised panel that is easy to get to grips with. With our WordPress Hosting packages, that is Plesk — with an integrated WordPress Toolkit for managing, updating and securing WordPress sites without having to deal with technical details. Both panels are available in English and designed for ease of use.
DirectAdmin — included with Web Hosting, Email and Reseller Hosting
Plesk — included with WordPress Hosting
Both panels provide a complete foundation for managing your hosting. The differences are mainly in the WordPress integration and the more extensive management options available with Plesk.
