Steps in Creating an Email address from cPanel

follow this post from the beginning to the end if you want to know how to create a professional email for your business or website.

Step 1; Login to cPanel

Login to cPanel and locate email tab, then click on email accounts.

Step 2; Create a new email account

Once you've reached this screen you'll be able to see your list of email accounts, if you've never created any this will be empty.

Click > Create, and you'll be takin to a page where you will fill in the details of your new email account.

Here you need to input your new email account username and password, that is the username and password you'd like to use for the new email account.

This is important because you'll be needing it to sign in to your email address to access you emails.

Now insert your username and password and click create.
