Step-by-Step Guide to Create a Company Email ID in cPanel
Login to cPanel:

or by using the link provided by your hosting provider. - Enter your username and password to log in.
Navigate to the Email Section:
- In the cPanel dashboard, scroll down to the "Email" section.
- Click on "Email Accounts".
Create a New Email Account:
- Click the "Create" button (this might vary slightly depending on the cPanel version).
- Domain: Select the domain you want to create the email for if you have multiple domains.
- Username: Enter the username you want for the email address (e.g.,
info
, support
, name
). - Password: Create a strong password or use the password generator provided by cPanel.
- Storage Space: Set the storage space limit for this email account, or choose "Unlimited".
Optional Settings:

Accessing the Email Account

- You can access the email account via webmail by going to
https://yourdomain.com/webmail

- Email Client (Outlook, Gmail, etc.):
- If you prefer to use an email client, cPanel will usually provide you with the settings for IMAP/POP3 and SMTP to configure the email in your preferred client.
Managing the Email Account
- Quota: You can adjust the quota, suspend, or delete the account later from the same "Email Accounts" section.
