It\u2019s an exceptionally quick process and can be done in less than a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you set up a website, you have the ability to create email addresses using your domain. Instead of sharing a gmail.com account, you can proudly display the site with an address at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webhostingcochin.co.in\/web-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.webhostingcochin.co.in\/web-hosting\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">yourdomain.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rank-math-toc-block\" id=\"rank-math-toc\"><h2>Table of Contents<\/h2><nav><ul><li><a href=\"#why-use-domain-specific-email-addresses\">Why Use Domain Specific Email Addresses<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#create-email-accounts-from-c-panel\">Create Email Accounts from cPanel<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-use-domain-specific-email-addresses\">Why Use Domain Specific Email Addresses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of web filters are set up to block messages from web-hosted domains. For instance, some filters are set up to block hotmail.com and yahoo.com from flooding into an inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because free web-based email is often used by questionable people to spread spam and malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Domain addresses also denote a sense of professionalism. People are more likely to trust <strong>joe@ggexample.com<\/strong> over <strong>joe@yahoo.com<\/strong>. Think about it, would you trust an important message from PayPal or your bank if it came from <em>@gmail.com<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create-email-accounts-from-c-panel\">Create Email Accounts from cPanel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squarebrothers.com\/cpanel-hosting-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.squarebrothers.com\/cpanel-hosting-india\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cPanel<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Email Accounts<\/strong>&nbsp;icon in the <em>Email<\/em> section.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Selection_1705.png 875w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Selection_1705-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Selection_1705-768x224.png 768w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Selection_1705.png\" alt=\"Email Accounts Section of cPanel\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will then see the Email Accounts page.
