Email setup
Create mailboxes, configure Outlook and iPhone, and set up SPF/DKIM for Hoststack.pro email.
Every Hoststack.pro hosting plan includes professional email hosting. Create mailboxes like [email protected], set up forwarders, and configure your email client or phone in minutes.
Step 1 — Create an email account
- Log in to cPanel.
- Go to Email → Email Accounts.
- Click Create.
- Enter the username (e.g.
info) and select your domain from the dropdown. - Set a strong password and click Create.
Your new email address is now active: [email protected].
Step 2 — Access email via Webmail
Read and send email from any browser without any setup:
- Go to
https://webmail.yourdomain.comorhttps://yourdomain.com/webmail. - Log in with your full email address and password.
- Choose Roundcube (recommended) or Horde as your webmail client.
Step 3 — Set up on Outlook / Windows Mail
| Setting | IMAP (recommended) | POP3 |
|---|---|---|
| Incoming server | mail.yourdomain.com | mail.yourdomain.com |
| Incoming port | 993 (SSL) | 995 (SSL) |
| Outgoing server (SMTP) | mail.yourdomain.com | mail.yourdomain.com |
| Outgoing port | 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS) | 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS) |
| Username | full email address | full email address |
| Encryption | SSL/TLS | SSL/TLS |
IMAP vs POP3: Use IMAP — it keeps emails synced across all your devices. POP3 downloads and removes emails from the server.
Step 4 — Set up on iPhone / Android
- Open Settings → Mail → Add Account → Other → Add Mail Account.
- Enter your name, full email address, password, and a description.
- Tap Next. The phone tries to auto-detect settings. If it fails, enter the IMAP settings from the table above manually.
- Tap Save.
Step 5 — Improve deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
Without these records, your emails may land in spam. Configure them from cPanel:
- In cPanel, go to Email → Email Deliverability.
- Click Repair next to your domain. cPanel will automatically install the correct SPF and DKIM records if you are using our nameservers.
- For DMARC, go to Domains → Zone Editor and add a TXT record:
Name: _dmarc.yourdomain.com
Value: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]
Email forwarders
Forward emails from one address to another (e.g. forward [email protected] to your Gmail):
- In cPanel, go to Email → Forwarders.
- Click Add Forwarder.
- Enter the source address and the destination address.
- Click Add Forwarder.
Emails going to spam?
Ensure SPF and DKIM are set up (Step 5). If deliverability is still poor, consider a transactional email service (Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES) for bulk or application-triggered email. Contact [email protected] for guidance.
