Tutorials for common CPanel tasks:

Creating a new email account:

  1. Login to CPanel
  2. Under the 'Mail' section, click the 'Email Accounts' button
  3. At the top of the page you will see a section entitled 'Add a New Email Account'
  4. Enter the part of the Email address that you wish to appear before the '@' sign in the box titled 'Email' at the top left. eg: [new_email]@collegesontario.org
  5. Choose the domain that you wish to setup the email for from the box at the top right. eg: collegesontario.org
  6. Choose a password for the new user and enter it twice in the boxes provided below the 'Email' box. Ensure that the password is at least 5 characters long and not easy to guess
  7. Click the 'Create' button
  8. Follow the instructions provided on the next screen to setup the User's email client to use their new email address

Creating a new email forwarder:

You should create an email forwarder instead of a new email account whenever the user already has at least one existing email address, wants a new email address, but does not need to send mail from the new email address.
A good example of this is: 'john_smith@example.org' finds that a lot of people try to send email to 'john@example.org'. Simply setup a forwarder from 'john@example.org' -> 'john_smith@example.org'.
  1. Login to CPanel
  2. Under the 'Mail' section, click the 'Forwarders' button
  3. Click the 'Add Forwarder' button at the bottom of the screen
  4. Type the section of the email address before the '@' sign in the box at the top left of the screen, this email address does not need to be a currently valid email address. eg: [john]@collegesontario.org
  5. Choose the domain associated with the email from the drop-down list at the top right. eg: collegesontario.org
  6. Enter the entire email address that mail should be forwarded to in the box labeled 'Forward to email address:'. eg: john_smith@example.org
  7. Click the 'Add Forwarder' button at the bottom of the screen

Delete an email account:

  1. Login to CPanel
  2. Under the 'Mail' section, click the 'Email Accounts' button
  3. Find the email you wish to delete in the list at the bottom of the screen. To make finding a particular email address easier you can type the whole email address (or any part of it) into the 'Search' box just above the email list.
  4. Click the 'Delete' button on the right hand side of the email address you wish to delete
  5. On the 'Account Deletion' confirmation page make sure you are deleting the right account! Once an account is deleted it cannot be recovered.

Setup a new add-on domain:

  1. Login to CPanel
  2. Under the 'Domains' section, click the 'Addon Domains' button
  3. Enter the new domain name in the box labelled 'New Domain Name'. eg: thisisanexample.com
  4. Leave the 'Subdomain/Ftp Username' and 'Document Root' boxes as they are
  5. Enter the password you want to use for FTP access to this domain in the 'Password' box. Please ensure that this password is the same as the cPanel access password, if it is different this will cause serious issues!
  6. Click the 'Add Domain!' button
  7. At this point you should ensure that the DNS settings for the new domain have been pointed to the correct DNS servers ( ns693.hostgator.com, ns694.hostgator.com )
  8. Please be patient, DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to become fully functional
