How to Create a Professional Email Address in cPanel

An address like you@yourbusiness.com looks far more trustworthy than a free webmail address. With cPanel hosting you can create professional email accounts on your own domain in about a minute.

1. Create the email account

1. Log in to cPanel and open Email → Email Accounts.
2. Click + Create.
3. Choose the domain, enter a username (e.g. info, sales or your name) and a strong password.
4. Set the storage space for the mailbox and click Create.

2. Read email in your browser

Open yourdomain.com/webmail and log in with the full email address and password. You can also click Check Email next to the account in cPanel.

3. Connect Gmail, Outlook or your phone

1. In Email Accounts, click Connect Devices next to the account.
2. cPanel shows the exact IMAP/POP3 and SMTP server names and ports for your account — use the Secure SSL/TLS settings.
3. Enter those settings in your mail app. Many apps (including Outlook and iPhone Mail) can also use the auto-configuration links on that page.

4. Make sure your mail gets delivered

• Open Email → Email Deliverability in cPanel and make sure SPF and DKIM show as valid. If your DNS is hosted elsewhere, copy the suggested records there.
• Check the records with our DNS Checker (TXT record).
