The ability to create email accounts associated with your<\/span> domain name and use them to communicate with your users is an integral part of your hosting service<\/b>. It can also be an important factor in the way your online business is perceived by potential partners.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might not always be the deciding factor<\/b>, but in general, people are much more likely to do business with organizations that have branded emails rather than the ones <\/span>who put their official communication through Gmail<\/b>, for example. Even if you use your website for fun rather than for making money, a branded address will make users confident that their feedback won’t be lost in a sea of personal messages and newsletters.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to have total control over your<\/span> branded <\/b>email addresses<\/b><\/a>, though, and some people tend to think that managing them is too complicated. This is not really the case.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you go for one of <\/span>Scala Hosting’s managed VPS hosting solutions<\/b><\/a>, you will use SPanel, an all-in-one management platform, to control everything related to your email service. This includes creating accounts, deleting them, and changing their passwords.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing an email password through SPanel<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Changing an email account’s password via SPanel is easy. Here’s what you need to do:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Log into SPanel’s User Interface.<\/strong><\/span>
    By default, the login URL is https:\/\/yourdomain.com\/spanel (make sure you swap yourdomain.com for your actual domain).<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    1. Find the account you need to modify, open the Actions menu, and select change password.<\/strong>
      At the bottom of the page, you’ll see a list of all existing inboxes set up on your account. Next to each one of them, there’s an Actions<\/strong> drop-down menu, with a Change Password<\/strong> option. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      1. Enter the new password and save the changes.<\/strong>
        The new password must be at least 8-characters long <\/strong>and ideally consists of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. You can use the provided generator to set up a truly strong password.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
