How do I create an e-mail address?

Would you like to set up your own e-mail addresses for your domain or add another one? In this guide, we will take you through the necessary steps one by one.

In the Hostpoint Control Panel (with web hosting package)

If you have a web hosting account and you wish to set up linked e-mail addresses, proceed as follows:

1. Log in to the Hostpoint Control Panel with your Hostpoint ID.
2. Open your web hosting account.
   
3. Click “E-mail” in the menu on the left and then “Create e-mail address”.
   
4. Enter the desired e-mail address (e.g. “max” before the @) and select the appropriate domain.
5. If you are creating the e-mail address for yourself, leave the option “Don't set a password; send an invitation link instead” deactivated.
   
   However, if you are creating the e-mail address for another person, activate the option. In this case, enter the e-mail address to which the invitation link should be sent in the next step. The person can set their own password via the link.
6. In the “Set password” field, enter a secure password and enter it again in the “Confirm password” field for verification.
7. Enter the first and last name of the person who will use the e-mail address under “Personal data”.
   Note: This name will also appear as the sender in the e-mails.
   
8. Select the desired Cloud Office package and click “Create”.
   

→ The e-mail address has been created. You can now access your new e-mail address via Cloud Office or set it up in an e-mail program of your choice.

→ With the free Cloud Office Limited, the storage space for the e-mail account is set to 1 GB by default. However, you can change this amount to suit your needs (max. 5 GB per mailbox).
