Manage Your Website with DirectAdmin

DirectAdmin puts the hosting tools you use most in one clear dashboard: domains, SSL, email, files, databases, DNS, backups, redirects and PHP settings.

It is built for running a website rather than learning a complicated interface. Launch WordPress, create a business mailbox, add a subdomain, upload files or change DNS records without digging through unnecessary menus.

With Website Hosts UK, DirectAdmin is part of the package from the start. Your hosting includes fast NVMe storage, free SSL, email hosting, sensible plans and the option to upgrade when your website needs more room.

Included hosting tools

DirectAdmin Web Hosting Features

Once your website is live, you need everyday hosting jobs to be quick and straightforward: secure the site, create email, manage files and make routine changes.

These plans include the DirectAdmin tools most customers actually use after checkout, without separate server management or licence costs.

Built around real website jobs.

Order the plan, point your domain, secure the site and start managing everything from DirectAdmin.

View DirectAdmin Plans
Professional Email on Your Domain

Create addresses such as info@yourdomain.co.uk, set up forwarding, use autoresponders and keep website email in the same hosting account.

Free SSL for a Secure Website

Enable HTTPS so visitors see the secure padlock and your website avoids browser warnings that can damage trust.

File Manager and FTP Access

Upload website files, edit content, organise folders or create separate FTP access for a designer without sharing your main account login.

Databases for WordPress and PHP Sites

Create MySQL databases for WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, Drupal or custom PHP applications while keeping projects organised.

Domain, Subdomain and DNS Control

Point domains, create subdomains, add redirects and update DNS records when moving providers or configuring email services.

Backups for Safer Changes

Recover more confidently from accidental edits, plugin issues or updates that do not go to plan.

From order to live

Getting Started with DirectAdmin

Good hosting should make the next step obvious: choose the plan, connect your domain, build or move your website, then manage everyday changes from one place.

This setup is ideal for launching a new business site, moving a website from another host or replacing a control panel that feels too heavy for everyday website work.

DirectAdmin or cPanel?

DirectAdmin vs cPanel

Both panels cover the essential hosting jobs: websites, email, databases, domains, SSL and DNS. The main difference is the day-to-day experience.

cPanel is familiar and feature-rich. DirectAdmin is a cleaner alternative for website owners who want straightforward access to the essentials: websites, mailboxes, databases and domains.
