Create mailboxes at your own domain, use webmail or your preferred mail client, and manage your website from the same DirectAdmin account. Keep an existing mail provider if that is the better fit.

One account. Useful essentials.
Domain email, free SSL certificates with automatic renewal, supported Installatron app updates, and account backup tools. Add the free Elementor plugin to WordPress for WYSIWYG visual page editing; optional paid features and licenses are separate. No setup fee. You bring a domain from your registrar.
Self-service, with people behind it.
Manage domains, DNS, email, Git, and optional Redis in DirectAdmin. Our own AI Natural Language Interface offers a review-before-change workflow for supported tasks; your AI provider account and charges are separate.
Moving a working business website?
Keep the old host active, preserve your mail provider’s DNS records, and test the new site before switching. Choose a guide for cPanel/shared hosting, WordPress, or Wix and Squarespace.

Mailboxes without a separate per-mailbox hosting charge
Personal includes 25 mailboxes. Business and above have unlimited mailbox counts, but mailbox data uses your account’s shared storage. Sending limits, anti-abuse rules, and acceptable-use restrictions still apply. This is not a bulk-mail marketing platform.
Use Roundcube webmail or authenticated IMAP/SMTP with a mail client. Follow your assigned server’s settings, use your full email address as the username, and configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC carefully. No host can guarantee inbox delivery.
Prefer Google Workspace, Microsoft 365/Exchange Online, or another email and collaboration service? Host the website here and keep those services where they are. Preserve their DNS records and disable DirectAdmin’s local-mail handling for a fully external-mail domain; outside subscriptions and licenses remain separate.

Move your website and email with AI and human help.
Upload your website files, database exports and mailbox data to your Lizard Hill account. Our AI Natural Language Interface (NLI) can help import that data, rebuild pages and prepare your new hosting, with proposed changes for you to review.
Follow our tutorials, keep your old hosting running while you test, and ask a real person for help with the move. You can also keep email with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or another provider.

Imports depend on your export format, available tools and account permissions. Keep independent backups and verify your website, databases and email before switching DNS. NLI uses your own supported AI-provider account; provider charges are separate.

Monthly billing and the first-month credit offer
Prefer to start monthly? Switch and pay for a 1-, 2-, or 3-year Business term within 90 days to get your first month back as account credit. See the offer and change billing terms.
Every plan includes: DirectAdmin, free SSL certificates with automatic renewal, Installatron app management and supported auto-updates, our AI interface, Git, optional Redis, login keys, catch-all controls, and self-service backups. Explore the tools.
Regular pricing, not an introductory offer. There is no built-in price jump when a promotional first term ends. Longer prepaid terms cost less per month; any future pricing changes follow our terms of service.
Prepay to lower your cost per month. The featured Business prices use three-year prepayment. Monthly billing is also available on Business, Business Plus and Business Pro. Review longer billing terms and the first-month credit offer. Personal is available on prepaid yearly terms.
Prices in USD with taxes included. Select a billing term above; the price, total due today and order link update together. Prepaid terms are charged in full; their monthly equivalents are not monthly bills. You can review or change the term before checkout. Domain registration is separate: bring a domain from your registrar. Each account shares one storage pool across all websites, databases, email, and backups. Domain pointers are aliases, not extra independent websites. Unlimited traffic, mailbox, database, and FTP counts remain subject to storage, resource, email-sending, and acceptable-use limits. The AI interface requires DirectAdmin two-step authentication and your own supported AI-provider account; provider charges are separate. Customer backup tools are not a guaranteed provider restore service. See all billing terms and current renewal prices at checkout. Rates may change under our terms of service; existing service charges are not changed by this plan update.
Questions before you start
Can I get a refund?
Cancel new hosting within 30 days of activation and request a full refund, including prepaid hosting. Read the refund policy.
Is a domain name included?
No. Register or keep your domain with your registrar, and point it to your hosting account.
What does the website limit mean?
Personal supports one independent website; Business three; Business Plus five; Business Pro ten. Aliases use domain pointers. All websites in an account share storage, resources, and account permissions.
Are backups included?
You can create and restore your own account backups in DirectAdmin, download them to your computer, and keep independent copies with your own cloud-storage service. Remote automation depends on the backup tool and supported destination. Provider off-site copies are separate and support disaster recovery. See the backup guide.
Which billing terms can I choose?
Business and above offer monthly, 1, 2, and 3 year billing. Personal offers 1, 2, and 3 year billing. The prices highlighted here are monthly equivalents of the prepaid contracts shown. Choose your billing term on a plan card; its price, total and order link update together. Your selection carries into checkout. Checkout shows the actual selected term, total charge, and renewal amount.
