Setting up your free business email box with WPX is quick and easy. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to create an email account for one of your hosted websites.
Step 1. Log in to your WPX account
Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.
Step 2. Go to Control Panel
Once logged in:
- Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
- Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.
If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency, or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting, Agency Hosting, or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.
Step 3. Go to the Emails menu
In your Hosting Panel:
- Click on the Emails tab.
- Then click the + Create Email Box button.
Step 4: Enter Email Account Details
In the dropdown window, configure the settings for your new email account.
Here’s what you can do:
- Choose the email address name (e.g.,
info@yourdomain.com). - Set a password or generate one automatically using the Generate Password button.
- Set up a maximum storage limit to control how much of your total hosting space it can use.
Optional settings:
- Create aliases or set a catch-all, more on that you can read here.
- Set up email forwarding if you want messages sent to this account to go to another address.
- Disable “Keep a local copy of your forwarded emails” if you wish to forward emails without storing a copy in your WPX mailbox.
- Send settings to an email address where you want to receive the new mailbox’s login details.
Once everything is filled out, click Create to finish.
Important Notes
- WPX email boxes count toward your hosting plan’s disk space. Limiting storage per mailbox is recommended, especially if you plan to create multiple accounts.
- Our built-in email system is great for light to moderate use. However, for business-critical or high-volume email communication, we highly recommend using a professional email solution like Google Workspace or Zoho Mail. We’ll even help you integrate it and automatically install the necessary DNS records in just a few clicks!
