SiteAdmin: How to login

SiteAdmin is the main control panel that is used on our shared hosting platform. You can access it a variety of ways.

• Backstage [ Secure ]
• Direct hostname/IP [ Secure ]
• Direct website address [ Secure ]
• Direct hostname/IP [ NOT Secure ]
• Direct website address [ NOT Secure ]

Access SiteAdmin from Backstage

This demo assumes you’ve already logged in to Backstage

Now let’s login to SiteAdmin

1) Click the SiteAdmin  drop-down menu located in the top righthand corner of the screen.

2) Click the sub account you wish to login to.

That’s it! You are now in the SiteAdmin control panel.

If you have access to more then 1 Backstage account, you will see an extra drop-down menu located at the top of the page. You can use this to gain access to your other Backstage/SiteAdmin accounts.

Secure Direct Hostname or IP [Secure]

To access SiteAdmin directly via hostname or IP address, we first consult your Site5 welcome letter or access SiteAdmin via another means to retrieve the hostname or IP.

Once we have the hostname, we enter it in the browser as follows:

https://[hostname]/siteadmin (example: https://siteadmindemo.accountservergroup.com/siteadmin)

If you entered it correctly, you will be redirected from /siteadmin to :2083, and then prompted to enter your SiteAdmin login/password.

Direct Website Address [Secure]

To access the SiteAdmin directly via your website address we would do so as follows.

Enter a secure link your website in your browser.

https://YOUR_WEBSITE_HERE/siteadmin (example: https://sademo.com/siteadmin)

If you entered it correctly, you will be greeted with security warnings like the ones you see below for Google Chrome and Apple Safari.

Google Chrome:

Select Advanced and if you see accountservergroup.com listed there, you can select Proceed

Note: If you do not see accountservergroup.com listed, select Back To Safety

Apple Safari:

Select Show Certificate and if you see accountservergroup.com listed there, you can select Continue

Note: If you do not see accountservergroup.com listed, select Cancel

After the warnings have been accepted you will then be prompted for the login username/password.

Direct hostname/IP [ NOT Secure ]

To access SiteAdmin directly via hostname or IP address, we first consult your Site5 welcome letter or access SiteAdmin via another means to retrieve the hostname or IP.

Once we have the hostname, we enter it in the browser as follows:

http://[hostname]/siteadmin (example: http://siteadmindemo.accountservergroup.com/siteadmin)

If you entered it correctly, you will be redirected from /siteadmin to :2082, and then prompted to enter your SiteAdmin login/password.

Direct Website Address  [ NOT Secure ]

To access the SiteAdmin directly via your website address we would do so as follows.

Enter your website in your browser.
