An email address on your own domain, such as sales@yourbusiness.in, looks more professional than a free email address. This guide shows you how to create one in cPanel in a couple of minutes.
You need a HostCloud hosting plan, and your domain must point to HostCloud. Not sure? See Point your domain to HostCloud.
1

Log in to cPanel

Go to https://cpanel.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your own domain). If your domain doesn’t point to HostCloud yet, use the control panel link from your hosting welcome email.

Open Email Accounts

Type Email Accounts in the Search Tools box at the top of cPanel and open it.
3

Start a new account

Click Create.

Fill in the details

  • Domain: if you have more than one domain, choose the one this address is for.
  • Username: the part before the @, for example sales or priya.
  • Password: choose a strong password, or use the button to generate one. Save it somewhere safe.
  • Storage space: how much space this mailbox can use. Leave the default unless you need to change it.

Create the account

Click Create. Your new address is ready to use straight away.

​
Start using your new email

  • In a browser: go to https://webmail.yourdomain.com and log in with the full email address and its password.
  • On your phone or computer: see Set up email on your phone or computer. To see the exact settings for this account, click Connect Devices next to it in Email Accounts.
Use a different address for each person or role, such as accounts@ and support@. If someone leaves your team, you can change that mailbox’s password without affecting anyone else.
Use a long password that you don’t use anywhere else. Email accounts with weak passwords are often taken over and used to send spam, which can get your emails blocked.
