How to Set Up Email Addresses
If you desire to set up a new email address for either personal or business use through your website, you may be able to use your service's control panel to create your new email. One control panel used by many Web-hosting providers is cPanel, which is automatically included with many shared hosting packages. The process of setting up an email address in your website's cPanel control panel will only take a minute or two. If you are using a control panel other than cPanel on your website, the process will be similar, especially if the control panel is either DirectAdmin or iPower's administrative control panel.

Tips & Warnings
There is a maximum quota of 2,048 megabytes for all email accounts created through cPanel. If you desire more storage space, click on the "unlimited box" for unlimited storage space.
Refer to your "welcome" email from iPower to find the location of your control panel.
You are only able to follow these steps if you are creating an email account through your own personal website. If you are attempting to create a new email address with a free service, such as GMail, you will need to register with your desired email service provider.
