How to set up a new email address?

If you would like to set up another email address on your hosting account, this is a very simple process and won't take long to add.

Once you've logged into our support portal, go to My Accounts > Website Plan and click on your website Product/Service,  see below:

Within the menu on the left of the screen, scroll down and select "Email Management".

Scroll to the bottom of the screen; you will find fields waiting for you to add your desired email address. The email address will end the same as your other email address associated with your hosting account. All you will need to add is the username for this email address and the password; not forgetting to confirm this.

You can set a quota size for this email address by selecting the arrow under "Quota", and this will dictate how many Mega Bites worth of emails the account can hold under this email address. But bear in mind that the emails held under this email address will use disk space from the account; please see our "Disk Space: what to do if you have received an "exceeded its disk space quota" error" documentation for more information on this.

Once you have added your new email address and Password,  make sure you copy and save this in a safe place. To complete this task, click "Save".

Finally, you can go to your website domain and add /webmail to test that everything works. This will look like this:

• www.mywebsite.co.uk/webmail

and then log in with your new Email address and Password to access your email account online.
