What is my email server, username and password? Print


cPanel Mail Server

For our cPanel hosting servers, the mail server setting for incoming and outgoing mail is always set to mail.yourdomainname.com, providing you are using EncodeDotHost's nameservers and haven't changed the DNS (Domain Name Server) records for mail.

If you haven't switched to using our nameservers, you can always use the server hostname, but note that this won't follow your domain should you make a switch in the future

The username to use to access an email account is simply the full email address that you are trying to access. e.g. [email protected]

The password will be the password you selected when you created the mail box.

If you're not sure what this is, you can reset it by:

  • Logging into the cPanel control panel for your hosting package
  • Clicking "Email Accounts" to see an overview of all mailboxes on your account
  • Select "Manage" next to the account you want to change
  • In the "New Password" field you can either set your own or use the built in password generator to create a secure password
  • Scroll down to click "Update Email Settings".

Note: As soon as you submit these details any devices that have the old details will become invalid and using the wrong details may trigger the firewall and block you from the server

WordPress Hosting Platform

If you are using our WordPress optimised platform the process is very similar:

The username to use to access an email account is simply the full email address that you are trying to access. e.g. [email protected]

The password will be the password you selected when you created the mail box.

If you're not sure what this is, you can reset it by:

  • Logging into the hosting control panel for your package
  • Clicking "Email Accounts" to see an overview of all mailboxes on your account
  • Select "Manage" next to the account you want to change
  • In the "New Password" field you can either set your own or use the built in password generator to create a secure password
  • Scroll down to click "Update Email Settings".

Encode and I had a very useful discussion about Wordpress and related issues at no cost to myself. He gave me some very helpful information and answered the questions I had.

I learnt quite a lot! Thank you.

I am very excited to work again with Neil. His attention to detail is second to none. I have seen his work in action in the past and he is great. I love his calm approach and his patient guidance to non-tech people like me. I would highly highly reccommend him!

Neil is the best! He has sorted out all our business emails and everything runs a great deal better now. Website issues are now a thing of the past as Neil has introduced a maintenance programme to ensure the site is always working optimally and any content changes are actioned pretty much immediately.

Highly recommended!!

'Encode' provided my hosting and domain transfers. They were able to deal with the technicalities of the transfer in a particularly speedy manner, taking all the worry of the transfer, domain issues DNS and nameserver headaches as well as the migration. A couple of emails, and phone call meant it was done smoothly, swiftly and efficiently. All I can say is I'm really please they were recommended to me. Thank you
