Getting started with your Business Email Hosting

Now that you have purchased Business Email Hosting for your domain, lets see the steps to be performed to configure email hosting for your domain.

Configure DNS settings for your Domain

For your email services to work, it is important that you specify the appropriate DNS records for your domain. DNS records enable queries for your domain to be directed to the server that stores your mails. No email accounts on your domain will be able to send or receive email unless you have added the required DNS records.

Add User Accounts

Once the DNS settings have been properly configured, your email service is ready to be used. Now, you need to create email accounts for users on your Domain. You can either add one user account at a time, or multiple accounts at once.

These are the primary steps you need to take, to ensure that your users can send and receive emails. You may also configure several other aspects of your account, as described below.

Add Domain Aliases

Domain aliases enable you to point multiple domain names to your email service, so that you can receive email on the same account for multiple domain names.

Add forward-only email accounts

Forward-only accounts do not have any storage of their own. They act as aliases for an actual mail account.

Login to Webmail

Webmail is an online interface that you can use to access, manage and organize your email account. Typically, an email containing your login details is sent to your alternate email address when your account is created. When you login for the first time, it is preferable to change the password to something that you are comfortable with. Learn how to login to your webmail interface.

Use webmail to send, receive and organize email

Accessing your email from the webmail interface has its own advantages, the most notable being that you don’t need your own computer or a regular email client to check your mail. If you have access to a computer with an Internet connection, you have access to your emails anywhere. Apart from email accessibility, webmail also offers a set of features to enhance your emailing experience.

Configure your email account in your desktop email client

You can send and receive emails using any desktop-based email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, or any other. Desktop-based email clients allow you to compose mails even when you are offline – you would need to connect to the Internet only when you want to download mail or send emails that you have composed. In order to use an email client to send/receive mails, you would first need to configure your email account in an email client of your choice.

You can either configure your account on your Desktop or your Mobile device.
