Setting up email for your domain

· Help Center · 1 min read

SiteHub hosts your website, not your mailbox — once your own domain is connected, you'll want real email addresses on it (like [email protected]) through a proper email hosting provider.

Getting email hosting

We use and recommend domains.co.za's email hosting — reliable, reasonably priced, and built to work smoothly with a domain that's already pointed at SiteHub.

Pointing email at your provider

Your domain's nameservers point at SiteHub once connected (see Connecting your own domain to SiteHub), which means SiteHub also controls its DNS — including the records your email provider needs (typically MX and TXT records for mail routing and sender verification).

In GrowDash, open your SiteHub instance's Domains section and add the MX/TXT records your email provider gives you during their setup. Once added, mail for your domain routes to your new mailbox.

Using it for your site's own emails

Once you have a real mailbox, use its SMTP details to set up email sending on SiteHub — that's what actually delivers your contact form submissions and other site emails.
