An email account stores mail for an address on your domain (for example you@yourdomain.com). Create it in the hosting panel after the domain points at Get Simple.
Email accounts are included on Simple and Business. Starter has no email, so you can keep using an email service you already have. See Business hosting for mailbox options.
- Open your hosting panel
- Open Emails
- Select Add account
- Enter the address in Email address and pick the domain
- Select Add
- Open the three-dot menu next to the new address and select Manage
- Next to Password, select Reset and set a strong password
To pass mail on to another inbox, open Manage on the address, then Forwarders. Enter the Forwarding address and select Add. If the address should only forward mail and never store it, use Convert to forwarder-only at the top right of the same page.
Open webmail #
In your hosting control panel, select the Webmail button at the top of Emails or under Quick links on your site’s overview. Sign in with the full email address and the mailbox password. You can also add the mailbox to your phone or mail app with the IMAP and SMTP settings shown in your control panel. Can’t find webmail? Open a ticket.
Mail will not arrive until the domain’s DNS includes the mail records this hosting created. If you kept DNS at the registrar, copy the mail records shown in your control panel under Domains: open the three-dot menu next to the domain, select Manage, and look under DNS records.
Add the mailbox to a mail app #
Open the three-dot menu next to the address, select Manage, then Email client settings. Use the server name shown under Email client settings, your full email address as the username, and the mailbox password.
Step by step for phones and Outlook: Set up your email on your phone or in Outlook.
- Incoming mail: IMAP on port 993, or POP on port 995
- Outgoing mail: SMTP on port 465, or port 587 with STARTTLS
