In order to create a new email address, you first will need to log into your cPanel. You can find a guide on how to access your cPanel here.

Once you are logged into your cPanel, navigate to the Email section an click on Email Accounts.

You should now see a list of all the email accounts set up on this account. Note that there is an account created already. This is the default email account and cannot be deleted, however, it does not count towards your total email accounts.

You should see a button labeled +Create on the right-hand side. Click this button to begin creating the email account.

You should now have many fields to complete to create the account.

• Domain
  • choose which domain you would like to use for this account (if you have more then one domain managed by this account)
• Username
  • the name of the mailbox (the part before the ‘@’ symbol), you do not need to enter the domain name, cPanel will add it for you
• Password
