Can I create email addresses without setting up a website?

You can create a professional email address without the need for a website, and you can do it with or without web hosting. However, if you want to get email hosting, you will need to have a domain name. Once you already have got your domain name, you need to connect it to your web or email hosting. Only then can you create own email address.

If you have Web Hosting, the product already has Email Hosting — meaning you can easily create an email address once your web hosting is activated and connected to your domain name.

Whether you have a Web Hosting or an Email Hosting, you can create an email address by following the steps below:

  1. Click Sign Up / Log In at the top of this page.
  2. Ensure that Hosting Manager is selected.
  3. Enter your username and password. Then, click Log In.
  4. On the Home page, click the word Email, or the [ v ] arrow symbol on the right side.
  5. Next, click the Accounts icon, which is next to the Forwarders icon.
  6. On the next page, type in the necessary details. Read some information about the said details below:

  7. Email This is your unique email name. In your email address, this will appear before your domain name.

    For instance, if your email address is coolsupport@mydomain.com, your email name is "coolsupport".

    Important Note: If you manage more than one domain, make sure to choose the appropriate domain from the menu on the left, after the at (@) symbol.

    Password This will serve as your key that will enable you to access your email. It is recommended that you use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols to create a strong password. The system will tell you how weak or strong your password is when you type it in the appropriate fields.

    If you find it difficult to make a strong enough password for your email, you can let the system create one for you.

    Click the Password Generator button. In the pop-up box, copy the generated password and paste that in the Password fields.

    You can also choose to check I have copied this password in a safe place. Then, click Use Password. This will automatically copy and paste the generated password in the Password fields.

    Important Note: Make sure you have actually saved the generated password in a safe and easy to recall place.

    Mailbox Quota This is the amount of space you may use for your stored emails.

    Important Note: Mailbox quotas cannot exceed 4096 GB or 4TB. If you think you need more space than that, choose the Unlimited option.

  8. Click Create Account to confirm.

Congratulations, you have created an email account. For email setup instructions, refer to the Email Hosting getting started guide.
