E-mail Accounts
Oxxy provides an email service for free as part of your subscription plan. Look professional and boost your business' credibility with personalized mailboxes such as [email protected] or [email protected].
The first thing you need to do to activate your email accounts service, is to purchase a paid subscription with Oxxy. Once you have your site, you need to connect a domain to it. You can either purchase a domain directly through us or you can connect one, bought from another domain registrar. After your new domain is set up, you will be able to create a business email account associated with your new domain name. The number of email accounts that you can receive depends on the subscription plan that your domain is connected to. For example, when you purchase a Plus subscription and connect a domain to this plan, you are allowed to establish up to 5 email addresses like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.
To create an email account:
- To start off using Oxxy's email service for the first time, please connect a domain name to your paid subscription.
- Go to Account settings.
- Click on Mail Boxes.
- Activate – you will see this button when your email account is not activated. By clicking on it, your email service will be activated.
