The shared hosting packages from Bluehost come with a free domain name and up to an infinite number of free email accounts. You can set up Bluehost webmail in only three steps: register for an account, visit the settings page, and add an email address. Then you may link your email address to your preferred email client, such as Gmail, Outlook, or Apple, using Bluehost webmail for business email online.

Here are the three steps for configuring Bluehost webmail for business email:

1. Get a Bluehost Hosting Plan and Domain

WordPress endorses the web hosting company Bluehost. Its shared hosting packages start at just $2.95 per month and include WordPress hosting as well as benefits including a free domain, free SSL certificate, free email addresses, and a WordPress website builder. It’s one of the best web hosting providers for small businesses, especially for those seeking to construct WordPress websites, for all of these reasons and more.

Signing up for one of their web hosting plans is the first step. You can check if your selected email domain name is accessible during account setup, link a domain you already own, or decide to choose a domain later.

2. Navigate to Email Settings

You may set up your Bluehost webmail addresses after creating your Bluehost account and registering your domain. On the Basic plan, you can create five business emails for no cost; on higher-tier Bluehost hosting plans, you can create an infinite number of emails.

Log in to your Bluehost account first. Locate “Advanced” under “Helpful Links” on the dashboard, then click “cPanel.” Select Email Accounts from the Email banner on the following screen. You can manage your Bluehost webmail accounts here.

3. Create a Bluehost Webmail Address

To the right, select the blue “Create” button. Choose the desired domain from the dropdown menu on the following screen. When prompted, provide your username in the format of your choice, such as firstname.lastname@yourdomain.com or a more generic username like info@ or help@yourdomain.com.

For your Bluehost webmail account, you can either add a password or ask Bluehost to generate one for you. By selecting an option from the dropdown menu next to the arrow to the right, you may also modify the password’s settings (such as the length requirement). You may change some optional options for your Bluehost email by clicking “Edit Settings” under “Optional Settings.”

You can select how much storage space you wish to give for email storage here. We advise selecting “Unlimited” if your Bluehost account offers unlimited storage (i.e., any premium plan above Basic). You’ll need these instructions later, so keep the checkbox selected to have Bluehost send you an email with setup instructions.

Use Bluehost Webmail for Business Email

You may access your Bluehost email account from any web browser using webmail, often known as web-based email. Log into your control panel, select “Advanced,” scroll down to the “Email” area, and then select “Email Accounts” to access your email through Bluehost webmail. Select your email address from the list, then click the “Check Email” link that appears. This starts the webmail application.

The Horde webmail client is an alternative to Roundcube, which is the standard. To open your inbox, click Open. One email with the subject “Client configuration settings for yourname@yourdomain.com” ought to appear in your mailbox. As an alternative, you can add your email address to the email client program of your choice, which we cover below.

Add Your Email to Third-party Email Software

You can choose to continue using the Bluehost dashboard or webmail client to check your email or to set up your Bluehost account in another email client. You may effortlessly and cost-free verify your Bluehost email address using any of these email software applications, whether you prefer Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or anything else.
