How Can I Create My Own Email Address?

BasicsEmail

If you want a professional email service, simply use one of our Business Email plans. You can create a set number of mailboxes for each of your domains, according to the specifications of your plan.

To create a new email address, log in to the admin area at rackhost.uk. Use the email address and user password you provided when you placed the order. Once logged in, go to the Emails section to see the domain names managed by us, for which you can create mailboxes.

Under Emails, in the Domains section, you’ll see which domains you can create mailboxes for. Select the Details button next to the desired domain. If multiple domains are associated with the hosting plan, they will all be listed here. Locate the domain you wish to create mailboxes for, and click on the Settings button at the end of the row. Then, click on the New Mailbox button to create the new mailbox.

If you’ve already created a mailbox, you can  manage it by following the Emails/ Details/ Settings path. Here, you can also check how many mailboxes have been created for each domain and see how many additional addresses you can create. Click the Update (pencil) icon to modify existing settings.

A list of existing mailboxes will appear below, where you can make the following changes:

Click on the Domain Forwarding tab to set up a new forwarding. In the pop-up window, select the type of forwarding you want. Domain forwarding allows you to specify a destination domain where all emails sent to the source domain will be delivered, provided that the mailbox also exists in the destination domain. For example, if [email protected] exists under your source domain, incoming mail will be forwarded to [email protected] if examples.uk is your destination domain.

Catch-all forwarding allows you to forward all emails sent to any address within a specific source domain to a designated email address. For example, if emails are sent to [email protected] or [email protected] under the source domain, they will be forwarded to the specified email address in the destination mailbox.

Click on the Mailbox tab to set up additional email addresses to which emails for a particular address will be forwarded. You can configure multiple destination mailboxes simultaneously. Tick the box below to retain the mail in the original mailbox as well as in the forwarded mailbox.
