Quickstart By the end of this guide, you’ll have:

​
DangoID

DangoID is the authentication system powering all Dango products. With a username and password, you’ll have access to everything in this guide and more.

​
Requirements

To start, you’ll need a username and password in mind, as well as your email address.

​
Registration

You must be 13+ to sign up for an independent DangoID account.
Head over to my.dangoweb.com and click “Register” above the login form. Proceed to enter your first and last name, a unique username, your email, and a password for your account. Finally, solve the hCaptcha and click “Register” to finish the process. You should then see a success message, and you may now log in with your chosen username and password. Alternatively, you may sign up with an external login provider by clicking their corresponding button at the bottom of the page. Your username, email, name, and similar informational details are automatically collected and will be used to create your account.

​
Errors

If you encounter any errors during the registration process, first check that your username is all lowercase, containing only letters and numbers and no symbols. Then, check that your email is correct and that your password contains all legal characters. If there are still errors after checking these, check our Status Page for system downtime, and then contact support as a last resort. We’ll fix the issue as soon as possible.

​
Logging in

Enter your chosen username and password from the previous step and click “Sign in” to be logged in. You have now successfully created and logged into your DangoID Account. If you chose to sign up with an external login provider, simply log in with that provider by clicking the same button as before.

​
Errors

If you encounter issues on MyDangoID, first check the error message for any leads. Next, check that your username and password are valid. If everything looks good, there may be an error on our end and you should contact support. Getting error 500: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR may mean there’s an error behind the scenes. First, check our Status Page for downtime, then contact support to get an immediate explanation.

​
Dango Portal

Your Dango Portal account should be already set up from the last step. At the top right of your screen, you’ll see your “Dangos”, our currency. 100 Dangos equals exactly USD $1.00, and you can trade and redeem them. Dangos also can be won from our giveaways, events, or claimed on holidays using a coupon.

​
Ordering

Free domains are currently unavailable. To continue, we’ll use a free subdomain.
If you have a paid domain that you would like to use, use that instead.
Navigate to the homepage of the Dango Portal at portal.dangoweb.com. If you were logged into MyDangoID, you should be automatically logged into the Dango Portal. Go to our homepage at dangoweb.com, go to the “Web Hosting” section, and select “Basic Web Hosting” which is completely free. Free Hosting does not require renewal, but expires when you leave the Discord server if applicable. Click “Checkout with Dangos”, which will redirect you back to the Dango Portal. Go to your newly created order, and activate it. For domain, you may enter an existing paid domain you own or enter your username followed by a free subdomain. You can learn about all domain types here. If the desired subdomain or domain is taken, you will see an error message. Once activated, look out for an email from portal@dangoweb.com or a similar system address that will contain all your login information. If you chose to connect an existing paid domain, follow our Domains Help Center guide for details on how to link your domain to our hosting.

​
DirectAdmin

​
Logging in

To log in to the /icons/directadmin/directadmin.svg DirectAdmin control panel, you’ll need your username and password. This should be your DangoID username and the random password sent to your email address, unless your welcome email says otherwise. Once logged in, you should be presented with a page with all your features on the left, and your account limits on the right. You can always contact support to negotiate increased limits if they are needed.

​
SSL

Activate SSL security for your website traffic using the /icons/directadmin/ssl.svg SSL Certificates feature:
https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dangowebsolutions/icons/directadmin/ssl.svg

SSL Certificates

​
Creating a website

Skip this step for Email Hosting accounts.
Exit out of /icons/directadmin/ssl.svg SSL Certificates. Choose an option from the below list to get started with a website. If you do not have a website as of yet, click the “HTML” option to use a template. If you prefer to use Web Hosting without setting up a website, you can skip this step.

Start with a simple HTML template or upload an existing site.

PHP

Upload your PHP website and install required dependencies.

WordPress

Use our one-click installer to set up a WordPress website.

Website Builder

Set up a website using drag-and-drop website builders.

Node.js

Upload your Node.js website, install required dependencies, and learn how to start your app.

Python

Upload your Python website, install required dependencies, and learn how to start your app.

​
Creating a email address

Open /icons/directadmin/email.svg E-mail Accounts. You should see one email address already there. It should look like <username>@<domain.tld>. On the free plan this is the only email account you can create, but you can contact support if you need more. On the right, click the log in icon and you’ll be redirected to /icons/directadmin/roundcube.svg Roundcube, our online email client. If you choose to use another, like Apple Mail, Outlook, etc., contact support to get your connection details.
