How do I set up my email on Outlook 2013?

Before you can configure email software to send and receive emails from our servers, you must:
  1. Purchase a cPanel or Cloud hosting subscription service
  2. Create an email account on our cPanel or Cloud hosting servers
  3. Ensure you have your incoming, outgoing, username and password details ready to go
Once you have done this, you can configure your email software to connect to the email account you created on our servers.

Note: As a courtesy to our customers, we provide online tutorials on how to configure various email software. Our staff, however, are not able to provide support on how to use Microsoft Outlook. For further assistance in using Microsoft Outlook 2013, please see Microsoft's Outlook 2013 support pages.
