Create an email address
How to create an address like name@yourdomain.com in cPanel and set its password.
You create email addresses on your own domain in cPanel. The number of addresses and the space depend on your plan.
- Log in to cPanel: Log in to cPanel.
- In the Email section open Email Accounts.
- Click Create.
- If you have several domains, choose the right one in the Domain field.
- In Username enter the part before the @ sign (e.g.
info). - Set a password: enter your own or click Generate for a strong one. Save the password in a password manager.
- In Storage Space set the mailbox space or leave the default, depending on your plan.
- Click Create at the bottom of the page.
The new address works right away, but only if your domain points to ScyHost. If the domain was changed recently, see DNS propagation.
