You need one or more email addresses on your domain (e.g. info@yourdomain.com). This guide shows how to create them in cPanel.

Step 1: Open Email Accounts

Log in to the Client AreaServices → your web hosting → Log in to cPanel (or use the Email Accounts Quick Shortcut). Open Email Accounts.

Step 2: Create account

Click Create. Enter the local part (e.g. info, support) and choose the domain. Set a strong password (or generate one). Set the storage quota if needed. Click Create.

Step 3: Access email

Use Check Email / Webmail from cPanel, or set up a desktop/mobile client — see Setting up email on Gmail, Outlook, iPhone, Android. Username is the full address; server is usually mail.yourdomain.com.

Tip: After creating mailboxes, enable SPF/DKIM so outgoing mail is trusted.

When to contact support

If you hit account or storage limits, or can’t connect from a client, open a ticket. Also see Email not sending or receiving.
