Open DirectAdmin from your client area

What are these two places?

The client area is your account page with Hostvento. You see your services, domains, invoices and support tickets there. DirectAdmin is the control panel. A control panel is the web page where you manage your hosting. You add email accounts, upload files and install apps.

They are two different logins. The client area is like the front desk of a hotel. DirectAdmin is your room.

Steps

1. Go to https://secure.hostvento.com/clientarea.php.
2. Type your email address and password.

   

3. Click Login.
4. Click Services in the top menu, then My Services.
5. Click the hosting plan you want to open.
6. Look for a button such as Login to DirectAdmin, Login to Control Panel or a similar link. It is often on the service page or in the left menu.
7. Click it. A new tab opens, and you are signed in to DirectAdmin.

The exact wording depends on how your service is set up.

You can sign in by hand.
