Create an Email Address
Let’s create an email address for your website right now. A typical first email account you would create is an “admin” account.
“admin@exampleurl.com”
Sign in to your control panel and find the icon that says “Email Accounts”

We definitely suggest you use a unique password that you have never used before. If someone get’s access to your email address, they pretty much have access to every thing else that’s attached to that email. The “Password Generator” is a valuable tool to use if you can’t create one yourself.
Now the Mailbox Quota is good to have especially if you have bandwidth limits every month you need to control. If you feel like you won’t get spam email, and you can control your mailbox on a daily basis, then feel free to check off the “Unlimited” radio button. You don’t want to have an important email not sent to you because your mailbox is too full.
Fill out the fields and click on “Create Account”
As you can see in the image above, we have created an email with a “Very Strong (100/100)” password and we suggest you do the same. This is just an example email address and it doesn’t really exist on our server.

Congratulations, you have created your email address! Make sure you Create an Email Address right after you register your domain name and hosting company because you need some way for people to contact you. We suggest you make an “Admin” account, and a more personal account when you go and create an email address.
