Send & Receive Email With Cloud Hosting This is probably a rookie question, but I want to make the switch to cloud hosting and one of the things I've found is that setting up email accounts (for example support@MyDomain.com) can be a challenge. ++++++++++++++ list of top cheapest host http://Listfreetop.pw Top 200 best traffic exchange sites http://Listfreetop.pw/surf free link exchange sites list http://Listfreetop.pw/links list of top ptc sites list of top ptp sites Listfreetop.pw Listfreetop.pw +++++++++++++++ A few cloud hosting providers offer cPanel for an addition fee. If I opt for that can I set up email accounts with cloud hosting the same way I would on traditional hosting with cPanel? Can you give a bit more detail about what you're looking to do with your "cloud hosting"? If there's something specific you want to accomplish which requires you to have raw access to the VM you can do that separate from your email solution. You'll need to do the cost/time benefit analysis as to whether you want to manage an email server in the cloud yourself vs. using something like a cPanel account to do it (if it meets your needs). Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at switching to Vultr and want to know if I pay extra for cPanel will I be able to set up email accounts the same way you would on a dedicated server or shared hosting account with cPanel. What I mean by that is can I set up email accounts within cPanel with a few clicks, or is it more involved? Working from a command line is above my skill set. Assuming you just want to use these email accounts for correspondence, and not mass mailing, you could consider using a third-party system to handle email for your domain. Zoho has a free service level allowing you to create mailboxes and groups @YourDomain.com. Last time I looked at their service, it supported webmail, POP and IMAP. I run my newsletter through a 3rd party autoresponder so I really just need an active email with my domain for people to reply to. I was thinking if all else fails I could set up email through my domain register but Zoho looks like a better option. Thanks for recommendation. Another option is GSuite. Cheaper than getting a cPanel just for email Of course, if this is for 1 email address only otherwise, getting a cPanel is the way to go if you know how to configure it. You can also use Webuzo which is cheaper and does the same work as cPanel. Or as @net stated, G-Suite is the defacto solution here if you are used to the Gmail UI. E?OTICVM - Listing exotic VPS locations around the world! Office 365 is another good alternative.

Yes you can after mailserver services are set up. During the installation of cPanel/WHM the Dovecot mailserver will be configured by default. make money like a badass kanfirar.netlify.com adfeedz.com pipchanger.com make money in college olymptrade.com huskyhits.com make money youtube o domain registrar domain forwarding godaddy Assuming you just want to use these email accounts for correspondence, and not mass mailing, you could consider using a third-party system to handle email for your domain. Zoho has a free service level allowing you to create mailboxes and groups @YourDomain.com. Last time I looked at their service, it supported webmail, POP and IMAP. Zoho still offers free email accounts with your domain, but only webmail. Not POP nor IMAP anymore, sadly. Office365 would be a better option then using Cpanel just for email. Cpanel is more designed for shared hosting environments ware you have a number of hosting accounts on the one server, the advantage you get with Office365 is that its hosted on a load balanced cluster and Microsoft have a specific team that look after the mail platform. If you don't need the included office products or things like one drive then the Exchange Online 1 plan will be fine.
