When website owners first decide to host their site with a web host it can be very confusing. Does the site have C-Panel? If so, this will make setting up and maintaining your sites so much easier. I’m not going to go into a full discussion of what c-panel is or all of it’s features in this post. Instead I thought I’d concentrate on one of the basics – setting up an email account for your website in C-Panel.
When you view C-Panel in your web hosting account look for an icon that says Mail and click on it.
Once you are in there select – Add/remove/manage accounts
Click Add account at the bottom of that page.
Fill in the name of the email and the password. You can probably leave the quota alone. I think the default is 10 mb.
click on Create.
After you click on Create you’ll get some instructions as to how to log in to use that email account in webmail (another C-Panel icon and feature). Write this information down or use it immediately to set up your new email account in your regular email application.
This really is quite simple to do, but it can be confusing for a first time C-panel user.
