-
Visit your cPanel login URL (e.g.,
https://yourdomain.com/cpanel) -
Enter your username and password
-
Once inside, scroll to the “Email” section
🔒 Tip: Use the secure
https://version of the URL to access cPanel.
📧 Step 2: Create a New Email Account

Click on “Email Accounts”
-
Click “Create”
-
Choose your domain (if more than one is hosted)
-
Enter the email username (e.g.,
info,hello,admin) -
Set a strong password or generate one
