E-mail is an essential means of communication to contact on the Internet. It must be present on any web page so that visitors can communicate in a simple way. Now, choosing how the address is going to be is also important. In this article we are going to talk about how to create an e-mail with the domain or name of our website .
Why create an email with a website domain
We have many email platforms available . Many providers such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo … They are very useful for any e-mail for a home user and also even for companies and organizations. But of course, if we want to give a good image, if we want to create a more personal address that also belongs to our domain and not to an external provider, we must create one with the data of our site.
Also, we can create as many addresses as we want. For example, if we have a web page where we sell a product, we can generate an address that is for general information info@mitienda.com, another more specific for orders that would be orders@mitienda.com, another purchase@mitienda.com and so on list.
It is also important to have full control . It is true that if we use a provider like Gmail it is very stable, secure and very rare that it ceases to exist. But of course, at some point it could become unavailable, have a service failure, etc. By creating one with the domain of our own website, while that domain is in force we will have power over the account or accounts that we create.
But we can also better manage the available storage . Typically a common provider has limited capacity, which may even fall short for a user who receives and sends many emails each day with attachments. In this case we could assign our own storage limit, which would be limited to the hosting we have.
How to create an e-mail with the domain of our website
This is a simple process that we can carry out from the control panel to manage the hosting service. For example we can name cPanel or Plesk , which are some of the most popular. In both cases, as well as in another that we could have, the process is similar.
The first thing, logically, is to have your own domain. Have a web address that we can manage and thus be able to create as many addresses as we want. Taking this fact for granted, we are going to explain how we can create it in a simple way.
In this case we are going to explain step by step how we should do it in cPanel . As we have indicated, it is one of the most popular control panels with the most users. However, we can carry out the same steps in another option.
Create your own email from cPanel
We have to log in to the web server where we have our page hosted. Once we are inside the hosting, the next thing will be to access the cPanel . There we will find different sections such as Files, Applications, Domains, Email … We are interested in the latter.
Within Email you have to go to Email Accounts . There we can manage the ones we already have or create a new one. We will see a button called Create.
If we click on it, it will open a new window where we will have to select the domain . In case we only have one domain in that hosting, only one will appear. If we have several, all of them will appear.
Below we will see a field to put the address that interests us. There we will have to put the name for that email that we are going to generate. The domain will be the one we have previously marked, which will correspond to our website.
Later we will have to assign a password for that address. As we always indicate, it is very important that the chosen password is complex and that it allows us to properly protect ourselves and prevent the entry of intruders.
Additionally, below we will find the storage configuration . We can assign a maximum capacity, such as 500 MB, for example. Also make it unlimited, which means that you will have all the available capacity in the hosting. Finally, we simply have to click on the Create button, which appears below.
Thus, following these steps that we have mentioned, we can create an email address with the domain of our website. It is a simple and fast process, as we have seen. In our case we have done it with cPanel, but we can also do it in Plesk and other similar ones in the same way.
