    How to generate a CSR + Key to buy a new SSL certificate without replacing current?

    Our current SSL EV certificate is expired in a few weeks and I need to buy a new one. When I generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request), it appears to generate a new key and install it immediately (replacing the old one). And uses a temporary Shared Server Certificate for the time being...

    Conditional email forwarder? (or mail filters)

    Is there a way to setup conditional mail forwarders in DA, or email filters? For example, instead of just forwarding [email protected] to [email protected], can I do something like: • Mail to [email protected] with subject containing "Cat food", forward to [email protected] • Mail to...

    How do I edit an existing record?

    In the DNS page for my domain, it seems I can only either delete existing records, or add new ones. As far as I can see, in order to change something I now have to first delete a record, and then re-create the same record again with the new desired value. That seems like a really dumb way, not...

    Can I configure my own hosts file in DA? (reseller account)

    I've got a reseller account on a hosting server using DA 1.50.1. Can I configure or specify a custom hosts file, so that I can override some external domain names to fixed IP addresses?

    Subdomains and wildard * in DNS: only the subdomain part, or the entire domain name?

    I recently moved some domains to a DirectAdmin server, and the DNS stuff was already set up for me. However I'm wondering about subdomain DNS records. There are A and MX and NS records for the main domain, e.g. "example.com." (including point at the end) and also a bunch of common subdomains...

    Is there a way to setup bounce or delete addresses in DA?

    Instead of regular mailboxes and forwarders, I would like to use two other possibilities that I'm also using on several other servers: 1. Bounce addresses - if someone sends a mail there, it gets bounced with a custom error message. For example "[email protected]" bouncing with "this address...

    Using different SSL certificates for main domain and subdomain?

    I have a main domain with a (non-wildcard) SSL EV certificate, working fine. Now I want to add a subdomain, and enable LetsEncrypt SSL there (since the SSL EV certificate I have is only valid for the main domain, not for subdomains). I know using SNI allows multiple sites and (sub-)domain...

    Subdomain becomes subdir of main domain, can I avoid that?

    I want to add some subdomains, but I noticed that the directory for e.g. "something.example.com" is automatically set to public_html/something (as also mentioned in this help page). This means that something.example.com is also accessible through www.example.com/something. I'd like to avoid...

    Installing a previously purchased SSL certificate: I only got a Certificate, no Key?

    I have an existing SSL EV certificate which I purchased last year. Has been working fine on my old web server so far. I'm now moving to a new server with DA and trying to install this certificate, but I've only got a .crt file with a -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- section. When I select the...

    How and where are redirects like example.com/phpmyadmin configured?

    I noticed that my.domain.com/phpmyadmin redirects to my server's PhpMyAdmin installation, which is all good and handy, but I'm wondering how this redirect is being done, or where it can be configured. There's nothing phpmyadmin-related within my public_html dir, no redirects in my .htaccess...

    Where are access and error logs stored?

    I can see the access and error logs in DirectAdmin. But I would assume these are normal log files which I can also see with SSH. However I can't seem to find any log files in my home dir. I do have a logs/ dir which contains some .gz files, but no actual or current log. Are the log files...
