cPanel User Guide and Tutorial

Overview of this book

"A great book for getting the most out of your cPanel-supporting web host" If you have web hosting requirements beyond the most basic, you should look for a host that offers cPanel. cPanel gives you tight control over every aspect of your web site, email accounts, and domain names. But once you've got a web site with cPanel support, how do you go about using it? While the documentation included with cPanel may provide a quick reference, to really get the most from it you need a more detailed, systematic tutorial. Read this book to find out exactly how to get the most from cPanel in all aspects of your web site management: web, email, FTP, security, domains, back ups, and more.

Creating an E‑mail Account


To create another e‑mail account, just click the Add Account button at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the new e‑mail account setup screen. Here you set the username for the e‑mail address (), set the password, and choose the mail quota (more commonly referred to as mailbox size) for the account. If you leave the quota blank, then the mailbox can grow until your web hosting account runs out of disk space. If you do set a mailbox size, then that e‑mail account will stop accepting mail once it hits the quota until the mailbox is cleaned out to make room for more messages. Once you create the account, it is immediately active.
