How to create email accountsGeneral Email Questions
There are several ways to get an email account at DomainIT:

The first option is to simply register a domain name. With each registration you receive a free email forwarding account, which allows you to create one email forwarding address at your domain (e.g. yourname@yourdomain.com) which forwards to your current email address.

If you plan on creating a website at your domain, you could also setup a Web Hosting account and receive email forwarding and POP email accounts with your hosting plan. We also offer separate Email Plans if you are not planning on creating a website but would still like to receive email at your domain name.

Once you've signed up for the appropriate plan, you can create a new email account at your domain by following these steps:

1) Login to your Account Manager at https://www.domainit.com/myaccount
2) In the "Account Manger" side menu, click "Open Control Panel"
3) Under "Mail" click on the "Email Accounts" icon
4) Enter in your email account name
5) Create a secure password for your email address
6) Click "Create Account"

And you can create a new email forwarding address at your domain by following these steps:

1) Login to your Account Manager at https://www.domainit.com/myaccount
2) In the "Account Manger" side menu, click "Open Control Panel"
3) Under "Mail" click on the "Forwarders" icon
4) Click on the "Add Forwarders" button
5) In the "Address: field, enter in the name of the address you would like forwarded
6) In the "Destination" field enter in the destination email address you would like it forwarded to
7) Click on the "Add Forwarder" button

That's all there is to it!  Once you have created the new email account in your Control Panel, you can setup an email program (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.).

You can use the following Manual Settings information to configure your email program:

Incoming email server: server#.domainit.com
Outgoing email server: server#.domainit.com
Username: you@yourdomain.com
Password: yourpassword
