1. Log in to cPanel

• Access Your cPanel Dashboard:
  Open your web browser and navigate to your cPanel login page (e.g., yourdomain.com/cpanel or cpanel.yourdomain.com).
• Enter Your Credentials:
  Log in using the username and password provided by your hosting provider.

2. Navigate to the Email Section

  Once logged in, find the Email Accounts icon, typically located under the Email category. Click on it to open the email management interface.

3. Create a New Email Account

• Add an Email Address:
  Click on the “+ Create” button or “Add Email Account” option.

  • Domain Selection: Choose the domain for which you want to create the email (e.g., if you own multiple domains).
  • Email Username: Enter your desired email prefix (e.g., info, contact, or yourname).
  • Password: Set a strong password. Many cPanel installations offer a password generator for added security.
  • Storage Quota: Define the storage space allocated for this email account. You can set a custom limit or select “Unlimited” if available.
