All of OpenSourceHost’s hosting accounts offer the ability to set up email addresses @yoursitedomain.com; the first step is to decide on an email address and configure it in your hosting account.

Log in to your VDS Manager by clicking the ‘Login to VDS Manager’ link from the Products page of the Customer Manager, which is located at https://my.opensourcehost.com.

Click on Accounts on the left side of the screen.

Click on in the bottom right corner of the page.

Enter the following information:

• Username: The username is the portion of the email address before the @
• Account Description: For the account description, we suggest that you enter a note to keep your email accounts organized in the VDS Manager. This will not appear anywhere on your email messages.
• Password: Enter a password that is 6-8 characters long with at least one number and one letter.
• Verify Password: Re-enter the same password to verify the spelling

You can leave the other options, such as Email Quota, at the default setting.

When you create an Email account, FTP access is automatically allowed with that username. If you do not wish for the account that you have created to have mail access, deselect “Enable Email”. If you would like for the account to be used for email only, and for no personal FTP area to be created for the user, deselect “Enable FTP”.

Important Note: Your hosting plan specifications may allow for a very limited number of personal FTP users; you may want to disable FTP access for users who do not require it.
