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

  1. Log in to cPanel.
  2. Go to Email → Email Accounts.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Enter the username (e.g. info) and select your domain from the dropdown.
  5. 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:

  1. Go to https://webmail.yourdomain.com or https://yourdomain.com/webmail.
  2. Log in with your full email address and password.
  3. Choose Roundcube (recommended) or Horde as your webmail client.

Step 3 — Set up on Outlook / Windows Mail

SettingIMAP (recommended)POP3
Incoming servermail.yourdomain.commail.yourdomain.com
Incoming port993 (SSL)995 (SSL)
Outgoing server (SMTP)mail.yourdomain.commail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing port465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
Usernamefull email addressfull email address
EncryptionSSL/TLSSSL/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

  1. Open Settings → Mail → Add Account → Other → Add Mail Account.
  2. Enter your name, full email address, password, and a description.
  3. Tap Next. The phone tries to auto-detect settings. If it fails, enter the IMAP settings from the table above manually.
  4. Tap Save.

Step 5 — Improve deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

Without these records, your emails may land in spam. Configure them from cPanel:

  1. In cPanel, go to Email → Email Deliverability.
  2. Click Repair next to your domain. cPanel will automatically install the correct SPF and DKIM records if you are using our nameservers.
  3. 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):

  1. In cPanel, go to Email → Forwarders.
  2. Click Add Forwarder.
  3. Enter the source address and the destination address.
  4. 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.
