Connecting Your Domain to Email Hosting
If either your domain name or email hosting is hosted by another provider, you need to manually connect your domain to your emails. The same thing goes if you just changed providers. Follow this link to connect your domain to email hosting.
Creating Email Accounts
Once you have connected your domain to your hosting, you can then access your hosting control panel and start creating email addresses.
Before you can start sending emails using your professional address, you have to create an email account first. Click the link below to create an email account.
Accessing Email Accounts
Even if you want to access your emails on your preferred email software or email client, it is best to test the email accounts first by accessing them on webmail. This ensures that the email hosting is working properly and is set up correctly to the domain name.
Once the email hosting is proven to be working properly, you can then set up your emails by scrolling through the subtopics below this.
Email Server Settings
Take note of the email server settings below. These are the settings you need to set up your emails on your desktop applications, printers, or email mobile apps.
| Account Type | Choose whether you want to use POP3 or IMAP. |
| Incoming Mail Server | mail.yourdomain.com |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) | mail.yourdomain.com |
| User Name | Enter your full email address, such as [email protected]. |
| Password | Enter the password you use for this email address. We recommend checking the Remember Password option so that your email client will save your password for future use. |
