Another pro tip: on the Cloudways application settings don't forget to set the "from" email to the domain related email address. Otherwise you may have issues with the emails sent using your website contact forms. I had this issue and Cloudways pointed me to the right direction.

[@lusean193]

Hi I have this problem where can I find the from in cloudWays

[@digwillhachi]

Oh you made the video I asked for! Thank you so much!!

[@WPCrafter]

Yep, I am always reading the comments.

[@digwillhachi]

@@WPCrafter Thank you, so helpful for me !!

[@MrBalloonatic]

thank you very much for doing this Adam, it was exactly what i had been waiting for!

[@WPCrafter]

Glad I could help!

[@MrBalloonatic]

I can’t wait to see what you put out next! I love the quality of information and content that you share with us, I always learn something new or am reminded of something I have forgotten along the way when I watch one!

[@svetzy]

Fantastic info! Thank you so much for making this video. I will be using this in my business moving forward

[@WPCrafter]

Glad it was helpful! So many people asked for it.

[@paullydca]

Love Zoho, been using them for years. Thats a brilliant idea for using a cheap host for email.

[@davidmartins3280]

Does the emails applies to woo commmerce outgoing and incoming mails.

[@yagamilight64]

Thank you so much!

[@andrew.schaeffer4032]

Thanks for the cool trick for hosting email.

[@enricomingiacchi202]

Adam, I really liked the cheap mail trick! Thanks :-)

[@WPCrafter]

Thanks.

[@markr.]

Thanks so much for this Adam another great tutorial. I think you must have sent an awful lot of business Hostinger's way. They look like they've upped their game perhaps, I actually really like their email service/interface. It's very easy to navigate.

[@kaibuskirk312]

Perfect!

[@jacobrommel]

Would've loved if you showed how you create emails on hostinger at the end.

[@stratos-tutorials]

Thanks for the video Adam. I believe you should create 2 more records (if not 3). One is the "mail" CName for using a mail client with your own domain name in the smtp and pop3 account, and the others are the DKIM keys. (edit : Saw the video again and I think that this is what you refer as txt record that you missed, the DKIM key)

[@WPCrafter]

Yea I goofed, but caught it in editing, so all I could do at that point was have a note.

[@AngeloRinaldiGlobal]

Great video - thanks! If I already have email mixed in with my currently average website hosting, and I'm changing to fast website hosting and slow email hosting - how do I "move" my couple years worth of emails to my new email hosting, so I don't lose all those emails?

[@Frikisneiks]

Do the email accounts in the separate hosting site have the extension of the domain you own?

[@user-mc6hs2fq5j]

Hi, I would like to transfer my website from shared hosting to the Cloudways VPS, will the email keep in the shared hosting or do I need to point it from Cloudflare? Also, I would like to know if the VPS will be faster than my old shared hosting with the same spec (1CPU and 1GB RAM)? I watched your Cloudways' videos, they are the best I can find on youtube. Thanks for the great information.

[@u-save5989]

Thanks, great tut BUT missing the records [and sometimes in Hostinger it requires MANUAL generation or re-generation] for DKIM, SPF and rDNS making sure email deliverability works and DNS is correct, no missing records. What's best way to ensure it gets into inbox? And what happens to ll WP plugin/ form submits/ system emails? Needs an additional plugin to connect to SMPT?

[@ultiumlabs4899]

so it's is difficult (or not possible) to set DKIM, DMARC recordat hostinger?

[@djdebayanofficial8026]

Please make a video on the payment procedure of Cloudways.

[@rFifthWheeling]

I am having a brain fart here do i need a new domain for the add-on or use the domain i what to setup emails for? and just use the mx records from the add-on. thanks love your videos...

[@adityaarsharmapersonal]

Hello Sir, So after Seeing your Cloudways Video i saw Digital Ocene. So Presently I am managing my Own Server Though Cyberpanel as it support Open Litespeed. If possible Can you Make Videos on securing own VPS ?

[@DavidMaciasPhoto]

Awesome Adam and I read the comments and you state the workaround is to get a dedicated IP for email. I've tried to contact Hostinger to see if I can add an IP to the $2.89 plan but they haven't replied and looked at their plans the only one that shows an included dedicated IP is their $9.99 plan, any suggestions?

[@gerigame2995]

This is why I was confused by the video too... I want a dedicated IP for email too and my thought was if I'm getting cloud hosting for my website as well why not just get the email

[@thepuldarshana9056]

Bro can you please do a good thourough video on how to set up product shop page with Woof product filter or Themify filter ?

[@uzib11]

How can one domain be hosted in two hosting companies? One in cloudways for storage and one in hostinger for emails.

[@imaginationdevice]

How many emails/day can u send with hostinger smtp?? why not use mautic or similar?

[@sheryl_official]

Is this how you've set-up your own email for your company? Also, do you have a vid on setting up and charging clients web hosting using cloudways - is this possible w cloudways? Similar to reseller/whitelabel hosting. Tnx

[@kylevandeusen]

You don't worry about deliverability with these cpanel emails? I've run into a bit of trouble that I attributed to that (tho I'm not 100% sure). But I heard about the IP addresses for these shared hosting accounts getting blacklisted. Thoughts?

[@WPCrafter]

From time to time you may get a bounce. You can get a static ip address for the account and all outbound email on the up will be your ip.

[@circletechprivatelimited6124]

Hi Adam, I have a question, How can we create a backup server for emails in case one goes down due to some reason then the backup server will start managing emails?

[@stevecato]

Do you have a recommendation for any SMTP plugin for Wordpress so your WP instalation can send email thru the account you set up. Was hoping you would cover that.

[@heyblindmouse]

If you're using Cloudways, you can connect Elastic Email to your Cloudways server for like $0.08/mo and don't have to rely on a WP SMTP plugin. Just change the From email address in the WP application settings. If you're using standard hosting / not using Cloudways, any SMTP plugin will do. Just check on wordpress.org.

[@mrsurvey8279]

Hi sir, can you show us how to setup website on cloudflare??

[@tothruben5580]

Hello, could I ask you something? I want to put a wordpress website on a virtualmin where allready is a website in HTML. My question is: Will I delete or broke anything related to emails if i just install wp on that?

[@talfrei]

Does this only provide me with webmail or can I set up my desktop mail client to receive these emails?

[@cassianmx]

Hey there Adam! hostinger no longer offers the unlimited email accounts and they only have 1gb, do you have any other recommendations for another dirt cheap cpanel host?

[@gerigame2995]

I didn't get this - I was thinking I can uses cloudways vultr high performance and host email 🤷🏽‍♀️ so they won't let me?

[@HAIDAYY]

Woah! Bible references

[@gotpartsonline]

A++

[@davidmartins3280]

This records that you have set, can it send outgoing and incoming emails for woo-commerce. Please I will like to here your answers. If not, can you make a tutorial about that because I am about to move my eCommerce website to cloudways. Thanks

[@WPCrafter]

Yep, you would need an SMTP plugin and I have a video on it.

[@davidmartins3280]

@@WPCrafter Thanks

[@davidmartins3280]

@@WPCrafter I saw SMTP on cloudways can use that to set up outgoing and and incoming mails? Hope to hear your response. Thanks

[@WPCrafter]

@@davidmartins3280 Yes I think Cloudways also has a sever level option to send all outbound email from your websites through an SMTP service.

[@adelfaqih5514]

I didn't understand. why did you add your website on hostinger while the website is hosted on cloudways. I am confused. Is there no proplem?

[@billyscorner2232]

i believe cloudways dont offer email hosting? and this is a way to get your email hosting done cheaply elsewhere

[@lansingdoesbusiness9356]

Thanks for this. Would live to see a all things cloudways staging video. I'm having fits with my two sites I staged. The staged site automatically changes the live site on both sites.

[@WPCrafter]

Great suggestion!

[@DougDtech]

This is happening to me also. I'm on Digital Ocean via Cloudways

[@klam11]

Wouldn't there be an issue with IP addresses potentially being blocked due to other accounts on the same IP sending spam? I had a client's account hosting their email on shared hosting and their emails were flagged by several corporate firewalls / spam filters (their clients were law firms and banks). They ended up switching to Microsoft 365 and their emails could be delivered to their clients again.

[@WPCrafter]

Well yes this is always a possibility. The way around it is to get a dedicated ip address so only your emails are using the ip.

[@ultiumlabs4899]

yeah this is very important issue for me. I think adam is so sure to put all his email in 1 IP address because he know for sure how not to get caught by spam filters. just realize, if I host on a shared hosting, I got the same situation.

[@lukaacajic]

Hey Adam, Hostinger no longer provides unlimited email accounts. Their limit now is 100. Any alternative you would recommend that has a nice webmail login (not the cpanel looking one)?

[@gordonhuang8842]

I'm told that email accounts from web shared hostings are often blocked by receiving mails. If that's true your way of setting up via hostinger is also not a best choice. Your opinion please?

[@WPCrafter]

That is sorta true. It doesn't happen often, but can potentially happen. The way around it is to get a static ip address from the host so the only emails going from the ip are yours.

[@NickLePage]

Copy which TXT record?

Please help me on what am doing wrong or what i need to do please sir.

Not sure whether hostinger should be happy or sad about this video hahahah

I am looking to connect my web Site to cloudways, but you rambled on and on. You talked about everything but!

You can read right? Did you read the title of this video? This video is about the email setup, it says that in the title and thumbnail.

shame hostinger has caught on, max 10 gb per domain

[@longlivingdude]

Too fucking complicated. Your paying for a hosting service that should include the email service by default.
