What is Site Admin?

Introduction

If you have an account with Names.co.uk then you have access to our Control Panel, allowing you to manage and renew your services and domains at all times. This is accessed by logging in with either your registered email address or account reference, along with your password.

There is also a second method of accessing the Control Panel, which is known as the Site Admin login. Unlike when you login normally, logging in with Site Admin will only allow you to access and manage the services for one single domain.

What is Site Admin for?

You may have a number of different domains on your account with Names.co.uk, but you have paid a web designer to do some work on just one of them. They may need access to your Control Panel so they can make some changes, but you don’t want them to see or manage any of the other domains on your account. No problem! By providing them with the Site Admin login details for the domain in question they will only be able to access the services for that, and not any of the others.

Which domains have Site Admin access?

Any domain that has a mailbox has Site Admin access. The following packages all provide a mailbox, thereby enabling Site Admin access:

• Web Hosting
• Email Hosting
• Web Builder (paid versions)

This article will show how to setup a site admin account and how to login too.

When you have logged in you will be greeted with a slimmed down account view that will only show information about the current domain name. It will give access to the hosting space and email settings. It will not show any Billing information and will not allow the transfer of the domain name away. It will allow a support enquiry to be raised to our support team, but this will again only be relating to the domain name itself and not any other domain name on the account.
