This tutorial will show you how to add an email address to your cPanel web hosting account.

1.) Log in to your cPanel Hosting account. To access cPanel you should navigate to either http://cpanel.mywebsite.com or http://mywebsite.com:2082 (Note: You will need to replace “mywebsite.com” with your domain name and extension, this is normally .com)

2.) Once logged in, look on the right hand side for a box similar to the one below. Click on Email Accounts.

3.) Here is where you will add your email address. type the username you want into the box next to the word “Email,” either type a password and confirm it or click on the generate password to have a random one made, and set the quota to your desired limit. The default of 250mb in my opinion is more than enough for a regular email address. Once completed it should look similar to the screen shot below.

4.) Click create and it will be added to the list of email addresses below.

(Note: If you look to the right of an email address in the list you will see four icons. Delete account (its pretty obvious what that does), Change quota (this will let you change how much space the mail box is allotted), Change Password (also obvious and equally useful), and Configure Mail Client which will show how to configure Microsoft Outlook and other mail clients. The icons are shown below.

Then here are some tips and settings to check before buying a new card.

1.) Check to see that the cable ends are seated properly in both the computer and the router, modem or hub/switch.

2.) Reset everything. By this I mean turn off the modem, router, or any other thing between your computer and the internet and then turn them back on. If that works then congratulations. If not try step three.

3.) Check the duplex settings. If it is set to auto negotiate chances are that is the problem and it will be a simple fix. (See instructions below.)

(Vista) Right click on the connections icon in the system tray and then click on Network and Sharing Center. In the new window in the side bar click on Manage network connections. In the window that now appears you should see all of your connections. Right click on the Local Area Connection. Click on Properties. Accept the UAC prompt or enter an administrator password. In the properties window click Configure and go to the Advanced tab. Check the Speed/Duplex Settings. If it is set to Auto Negotiate then change it to 100mb Full Duplex. Now plug in your network cable or see if the lights come on if it is already plugged in. If they come on now and were not before then you have fixed the problem!
