Having an email account associated with your website or domain is essential for any business. It allows you to communicate professionally with customers, colleagues, and vendors. If you are using a web hosting service such as cPanel, setting up an email account is straightforward. In this blog we will show you how to create email accounts in cPanel.
Step 1 – Logging into your cPanel Account
The first step to creating an email account in cPanel is logging into your account. You should have received login credentials from the web hosting provider when you signed up for their service. Once logged in, navigate to the “Email Accounts” section in the “Mail” menu and click on it.
Step 2 – Entering Username and Password Information
Once you are on the Email Accounts page, enter the desired username for your new email address (e.g., info@yourdomainname). Then enter a secure password twice, making sure that they match each other exactly. The password must contain at least 8 characters and include upper-case and lower-case letters as well as numbers or symbols (e.g., !@#$%*). Once done, click on “Create Account” to create the new email address and its associated password.
Step 3 – Setting Up Storage Quota
The next step is setting up storage quota for the newly created email address so that it does not run out of space too quickly. To do this, select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu beside “Quota” and then click on “Change Quota” button to save your changes. Your chosen quota will be applied immediately; however, if you decide later that you need more space than what was initially allocated, you can easily increase it by repeating this step again at any time.
Creating an email account with cPanel is easy once you know how! By following the steps outlined above—logging into your cPanel account, entering username and password information, and setting up storage quota—you should now be able to set up an email address without any problems! Don’t forget that if your storage quota runs out sooner than expected or if you need more space down the road, it’s easy to adjust these settings at any time within your cPanel account! Enjoy sending emails from your own domain today!
