cPanel provides a control panel for domain owners to manage the different aspects of web hosting. Zoho Mail Plugin for cPanel helps you sign up for email hosting with Zoho Mail from within cPanel. This plugin is available under the Email section of cPanel.
The Zoho Mail cPanel is downloaded and installed automatically with the Zoho Mail Plugin for WHM. The Zoho Mail WHM plugin can be installed only by WHM Admin account holders. When the Zoho Mail WHM plugin is installed by a WHM Admin, Zoho Mail cPanel plugin can be made available to the users under that particular Admin.
Click on the Zoho Mail plugin available in your cPanel dashboard under Email section to begin the Sign Up process.
In this step, you need to register your domain with Zoho Mail.
Note:
During this step, make sure you are not signed into any Zoho account in the browser you are using for the registration process.
Once the verification is successful, your domain registration step will be completed. You will be directed to the next step.
In this step, you need to authorize your Zoho Mail account in the User Authentication page.
Note:
If your account is part of the EU or IN data center, follow the below steps to obtain the appropriate Client Secret.
CNAME is used to verify your domain in Zoho Mail. In this step, the CNAME and the Points to field are auto-populated on succesful completion of the previous step. Click on the Verify button to complete the domain verification process. Email hosting for your domain will be enabled once the domain is verified.
Note:
Domain verification generally takes effect in a short while. In some cases, it might take upto 48 hours to propagate.
Configuring MX records is a highly important process in order to receive email that are being sent to you. In this step, you need to choose one of the following option based on the status of your domain.
If you choose the New Domain option, the required MX records are displayed. Click on the Configure button to point the listed MX records to your domain to enable email delivery.
Since you already have other MX records pointed for your domain, you can proceed with the MX configuration step after you have added all the existing user to the Zoho Mail account. Click on the reference link for detailed instructions on how to proceed.
In the final step of the set up process, you can add users to your organization. The current users are listed in this step. Click on the Add users button to begin adding the required users.
On clicking the Add Users button, the Add User page will open. Enter the Display Name, Email address, password and role of the user. Then click Add. Repeat till you add all the users and then click Cancel.
Note:
While you can currently only Sign Up for the Free plan from the Zoho Mail Plugin for cPanel, you can later upgrade to a paid plan.
