Hey guys, it's Hogan here
And I just wanted to create a super quick video to show you how to create a professional domain email
in Siteground and then show you how to connect it to your Gmail accounts
So you can also send email from your gmail account and also receive emails into your Gmail inbox, right?
Because if you're using the default sort of hosting providers email interface, it's quite old and honestly, it's not as good as Gmail
So I'm gonna be showing you how to do that really quickly and it's also really important if you are
you know running an e-commerce store using WordPress because if a customer purchases from you
They're going to receive a auto confirmation
And if you're using just your Gmail normal Gmail account
It's going to show a warning message and that's not going to be very good
Okay. So what going to do is jump straight into it
So what we need to do is just log into your default sort of siteground user area now
This is a new area. Now. If you haven't been upgraded then it's gonna look something like this
All right, so I'm gonna quickly show you for those of you who are using the old one
It's gonna take a few seconds. Just click on my accounts and
Then what you want to do is click on the cPanel area
Okay scroll down to mail and then click on email accounts and
Then here ok, this can be like sales or info and then select your domain here, right?
So let's just say this one is hello
All right, and then just set in your password
Okay, so this is just your password
Alright and then put in a mail quota. So let's just say 500 MB and
Create an account. Ok, so that's pretty much it to create an account now
I'll show you how to connect it after I show everyone how to do it on the new one
Okay, so here click on the websites tab. Okay so over here we can click on the site tools and
Then you can click on email accounts here or you can also click on email click on accounts there as well
Alright, so select your domain here
Ok, then the next step is let's just say for example, this one's gonna be sales
Alright, and then you can set in your password again
Just like that and then click on create
Alright, so once you've done that then it's created and it's shown here
Alright, so I'm going to show you how to connect it with your Gmail account now
So what you can do is go and log into your Gmail account and then click on settings
over here
Ok, click on accounts and import and
Then you want to do is scroll down to check email from other accounts
All right, so it's gonna log in to your sort of domain email and to check emails. So click on add email account
Ok, so here we just need to add in the email. So for example sales, I want to check emails from here and
Sometimes it appears
Under your window. So just minimize the screen and paste in your email address and then click on next
alright click on next here and
Then here for your username. This is exactly the same as your email address
So the password is the password that you just set in now for your pop server. You want to put it just as your domain?
URL so moderndemo123.com your one's gonna be yourname.com
Ok, and for the port you want to set it to?
995 and then you want to select always use a secure connection and then you can also label it if you want to as well
All right, click on add account. Okay. So now that has been added and it's gonna receive and retrieve the email from this account
so now it's asking you do you want to be able to send emails as
sales@moderndemo123 if you do click on next and then
Here, I'll just set in your name and then click on next
Alright serve for the SMTP server
Again, just put in your domain
dot com and for the port you want to set it to 4 6 5 and then for the user name just paste in your
Email address right and then for the password
Enter in the same password as before. Ok, so select SSL and
then click on Add Account
All right
So what it's going to do now is it's just going to send you a confirmation email to basically show
So that you can actually show that you own this domain
All right, so you need to go back to here do your gmail account? And
You can scroll down here
Okay, and then you can find your new email that you've added and click on check email now
so that's gonna pull in the sort of the emails from
This account over here. So for example, you can also use the log into webmail here and
This is sort of the old interface
Area, right and generally, you know, I don't really like to use it. I just like to have everything in one place
So you can just go back here and it says, you know one mail fetched
All right, so you can just go back to your inbox
okay, click on the email and
Then you can enter in the confirmation code or just click on the link over here and confirm that
All right. So now if we refresh the gmail account over here
Then we can click on compose
Alright so you can click on the drop down here and then you can select if you want to send an email from your specific
Account. Okay. So once you've done that and let's say if you have a
WooCommerce store, you need to go to your WooCommerce
Website over here. Alright, and then go to WooCommerce click on settings and
Then you want to click on the email tab
Alright scroll down and
Then here you want to select your from address and paste in your new email and then you can click on Save Changes
