Hoster processes the /admin/ path of domain and redirected to the Administrative panel of hosting. Hoster answered that he can't write exclusion for the domain of my customer. Possible to change the path to the administrative panel of drupal ? For example, adminnew , etc. Please, anyone help me.

Let's get this straight:

A hosting company is hijacking an entire subfolder... one that is commonly used by cms'?!?!?

My advice would be to fire them. They have no business being a web host.

In answer to your question, I do not know of an easy alternative for the /admin path. You would have to edit the hook_menu() of every module in your installation!

Agree. Ditch your webhost - it is not at all reasonable for them to stomp all over your website namespace.

The exact issue is properly dealt with here: http://drupal.org/node/48872#comment-2069034

You don't need to ditch your webhost.

The exact issue was NOT properly dealt with in the referenced thread. It required the host to temporarily disable their hijack. TEMPORARILY. As in they turned it back on later, and the user alluded to the fact that they would face the problem again.

I think it's ludicrous to expect a user to create url aliases just to get around the problem. In fact, it's not even technically possible because of the use of arguments in the url structure. The only truly robust solution would be to use custom url rewrite functions to replace the initial "admin" part of the url. Either that, or turn off clean urls. Either way, it is stupid for a webhost to appropriate a generic, highly-used subfolder name.

I still say to fire them. There are better hosts out there.
