cPanel SMTP Credentials

Most shared hosts give you mailboxes on your domain. Those are SMTP, not a transactional API. Use them with Any Hosting Email Service.

Create a mailbox

In cPanel: Email Accounts → Create. Use cPanel's own guide if the screen has moved: Create an Email Account.

SMTP details

cPanel Email Accounts → Connect Devices (or Set Up Mail Client) lists the values. Official notes: Set Up Mail Client.

Typical:

• Host: mail.yourdomain.com
• Port 465 + SSL, or port 587 + TLS
• Username: the full address
• Password: the mailbox password

If the host uses a different hostname (smtp.yourdomain.com, a server name), use what they printed, not a guess.

If you cannot see the client settings, ask the host for SMTP host, port, encryption, username, and password. Put those on the Other SMTP form in FluentSMTP.
