Below is a complete, step-by-step guide to help you get started with webmail through DirectAdmin.
Step 1: Log in to Your exHost Account
To begin, you’ll first need to access your hosting account:
-
Go to the exHost client portal.

Once logged in, navigate to ‘Services’ from your main dashboard.

This will automatically sign you in to your hosting control panel (no need to re-enter passwords).
Once you’re inside DirectAdmin, you’ll see several sections that allow you to manage your hosting environment – such as files, domains, databases, and emails.
Step 3: Open the Email Accounts Section
In the DirectAdmin dashboard:
