Customer stories

Real businesses,
real results

Here is what people who host with us on DirectAdmin say about the panel, the speed and the support.

“We moved our bakery’s website from another host on a Friday afternoon and it was live on Sailexhost before we opened on Saturday. Nothing broke, our emails kept coming in, and the site loads noticeably faster now.”
Adaeze OkonkwoOwner, Sugarcrust Bakery
“As a freelance designer I host client sites on the Pro plan. Being able to spin up a new WordPress site in a couple of clicks and hand the client their own login has saved me hours every week.”
Tunde BakareFreelance Web Designer
“Our online store used to slow to a crawl on promo days. Since switching to Sailexhost we ran our biggest sale yet, 3,000 orders in a day, without a single timeout.”
Maryam SuleCo-founder, Kiln & Clay Store
“I opened a support ticket at 2am expecting to wait until morning. A real person replied in eleven minutes, fixed my DNS mistake and explained what had gone wrong. That’s why I stay.”
David MensahFounder, Mensah Legal
“The free SSL and daily backups gave me peace of mind I never had before. When I accidentally deleted a page, support restored the previous day’s copy in minutes.”
Chioma EzeBlogger, The Lagos Table
“We manage 40+ church and school websites and renewals used to be a nightmare. One account, one invoice and auto-renew on everything, so our volunteers can finally focus on content.”

DirectAdmin hosting FAQ

DirectAdmin is a web hosting control panel, like cPanel or Plesk, that lets you manage your websites, email accounts, databases, DNS, SSL certificates and backups from one screen. It is known for being fast, lightweight and easy to learn, and because it uses fewer server resources than heavier panels, more of your plan’s CPU and memory goes to your actual website.

The two do the same job. DirectAdmin has a simpler, cleaner interface and a lower licence cost, which is why our DirectAdmin plans are cheaper than equivalent cPanel plans. If you are used to cPanel you will find everything in familiar places, and our team can move your cPanel account to DirectAdmin for free.

Yes. Softaculous is built into DirectAdmin, so WordPress, WooCommerce, Joomla, PrestaShop, Drupal and 400+ other applications install with one click. Updates and backups for those apps can be automated too.

Yes, and it is free. We migrate cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin and plain FTP/database sites. Give us your current login, and we copy your files, databases and email, test the site here and only then switch the DNS, so there is no downtime.

Yes. Every plan includes email accounts on your domain with webmail, IMAP/POP access on your phone and computer, spam filtering and forwarders, all managed from the DirectAdmin panel.

The plans differ mainly in how many websites you can host and how much NVMe storage, CPU and memory is reserved for you. Starter is for a single site, Pro up to ten, Max fifty, and Business is unlimited with priority support. All plans include DirectAdmin, free SSL, email, daily backups and 24/7 support, and you can upgrade at any time.

Choose monthly, yearly or four-year billing; longer terms are cheaper per month and paid up front. Plans renew at the regular price unless you cancel, and we remind you before every renewal. If the service is not right for you, contact us within 30 days for a full refund of your hosting fee.
