That is what you type into the assistant in your hosting panel. Before that works, one thing is needed: an account at Claude or at ChatGPT, yours. This article explains which subscriptions work, what that means for your costs and limits, and how to connect.
Why your own subscription
The assistant on your hosting is Claude Code or OpenAI Codex, the real toolkit from both providers, with your website as its workspace. It works with the subscription you hold at the provider itself.
That has three consequences you should know.
Your usage counts within the limits of that subscription. We charge nothing extra on top of your hosting package.
Your conversations and settings are yours and stay with your account. If you leave us, you keep your subscription.
And you get to choose. Per conversation you pick Claude or Codex. All web hosting packages support both.
Which subscriptions work
For Claude a subscription of the Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise type works.
For Codex a ChatGPT subscription of the Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise type works.
Which variant within that range you pick mainly determines how much you can do per period and which models you can choose. That lives with the provider, because they set both the price and the limits and adjust them from time to time. Check the pricing page of Claude or of ChatGPT for that; we do not copy those numbers here, because a wrong number in a manual is worse than no number.
One thing to note: auto mode in the assistant only works with a Claude subscription that supports it. If you cannot select it, that is why. You can still work with "changes automatically" or with "ask on every change", and for most people those are the two handiest modes anyway.
What you pay us
Your hosting package. Nothing else. The assistant is part of Hosting Essential, Advanced and Complete, from 15 euro per month excluding VAT. The difference between those packages is in space, number of websites and in how much we do for you, not in the assistant itself.
Your subscription at Claude or ChatGPT comes on top of that and is paid to that provider.
How to connect
Connecting takes about a minute.
- Open your hosting panel and start Invoker Link. With a new package it is already in your menu.
- Go to the Claude tab or to the Codex tab, depending on what you want to use.
- Click Connect. A login page from the provider appears, plus a code.
- Log in at the provider and confirm the code.
- The page continues by itself once it has worked.
Your password never lands on the server. You log in at Claude or at OpenAI themselves, and what comes back is an access key for your account. You can connect both providers side by side, and you can always disconnect with one button per provider. The assistant is then logged out on your account; your subscription stays.
The full steps with screenshots are in Claude Code in DirectAdmin and in connect Codex to your DirectAdmin account.
Claude or Codex: which one
If you already have one, start with that. Two subscriptions side by side is rarely necessary.
If you have neither, the difference in practice is mostly a difference in working style. Claude asks a question along the way more often when something is unclear. Codex carries on with assumptions and asks little, so there you put more into the instruction up front. Both build a page just fine.
The full comparison is in Claude Code or Codex: which one on your hosting. If you work with Codex, also read choosing a Codex model, because the model choice makes more difference there than you expect.
If connecting does not work
Three things we see most often.
The code expired. A connection code stays valid only briefly. If logging in took a while, start again with a fresh code.
The code was half copied. Codes can contain characters that easily drop off when you select them. Copy with the button instead of with the mouse.
You are logged into the wrong account. If you have several accounts at a provider, for instance a personal and a business one, check at the top of the login page which account you are using. This is the most common cause of a connection that succeeds but then seems to be allowed nothing.
If it still does not work, use the option to ask us for help from inside the assistant. What gets sent along is described in asking Invoker for help.
Common mistakes
Thinking the assistant costs extra with us. It is part of your package. What comes on top is your own subscription at the provider.
Taking a subscription before you have hosting. Do it in this order: package first, then connect. Connecting tells you immediately whether everything is right, and then your subscription is in use from day one.
Connecting a business account without being allowed to. With a Team or Enterprise subscription an administrator can decide what may be connected. Ask about that before you start, otherwise your connection is gone tomorrow.
Spending your limit on work you do not need. One big renovation in a single instruction costs more than three small instructions with a clear question. Say what you want, and also say what it should not touch.
Taking two subscriptions to compare them. You can switch per conversation, but that needs both connections. Start with one, and connect the second only when you have a concrete reason.
