How to create an email address

Create as many professional mailboxes as your plan allows, in less than two minutes.

1
Open Email Accounts
Log in to cPanel (see Log in and open cPanel). In the Email section, click Email Accounts.
2
Click “+ Create”
On the right, click the blue + Create button.
3
Choose the domain and the name
If you have more than one domain, pick the right one from the Domain list. In Username type the part before the @, for example hello, info or john.
4
Set a strong password
Click Generate for a strong password, or type your own (at least 12 characters, mixing letters, numbers and symbols). Copy it somewhere safe now: you’ll need it on your phone and computer.
5
Choose the storage
Under Storage Space you can leave the default or set a limit. Unlimited uses your plan’s total storage.
6
Create the mailbox
Click + Create at the bottom. You’ll see a green message and the new address in the list. You can read your email straight away by clicking Check Email next to it (webmail).

Good to know

Use a shared address such as info@ or hello@ on your website, and personal addresses for staff.
If you’d rather receive mail in an existing inbox, create a forwarder instead of a mailbox.
