FAQs

What is email hosting?
Just like web hosting, email hosting is server space that stores your mailbox rather than a website. It also has a portal that manages the sending and receiving of emails. Like web hosting, it connects to your domain allowing you to make professional email addresses (yourname@yourdomain.com). Most companies basically rent out space on an email server to customers, then handle email sending and receiving.

Our professional business email is, however, more than just storage space and a delivery service. It also includes a wide variety of integrations and collaboration features designed to boost productivity and team effectiveness.

Can I find out who is hosting my email right now?
An email hosting provider is usually defined by MX records that point incoming emails to a particular provider — who then processes those messages. To find your MX records, you’ll need to perform an MX lookup. For example, if your email address is yourname@yourdomain.com you need to look up MX records for yourdomain.com.

Free online services such as MXtoolbox will give you a list of MX records that usually offer a provider’s name and corresponding IP address records. Sometimes, though, a domain might have a custom domain-based email MX record (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com). If that’s the case, you should also perform a Whois search on one of the IP addresses. That will give you the name of the email provider.
How do I get a company email address?
That’s easy!

To get a custom email, first, you need to register a domain name. You can do this with any domain name registrar. But, if your domain is with Namecheap and you purchase an email hosting plan, all your records will be set up automatically in most cases.

If you registered your domain name somewhere else, it’s called a third-party domain name. But don’t worry. You can still get a professional email plan with us, and easily set this up in a few clicks. We'll email you the steps to set up your account when you purchase Private Email.

Once you have an email plan set up, yourname@yourdomain.com is ready to go! And did you know you can try Private Email free for 60 days? Here’s our full selection of secure email packages.
What are the benefits of email hosting?
With our hosted email service, you are renting high-quality email servers to manage the communications of your business. Some hosting providers offer free email hosting options with very few features and little to no support. Private Email from Namecheap is a premium email solution that gives you more flexibility and power. It’s just one of the reasons why so many business owners choose Private Email, along with our 24/7 customer support. Learn more about hosted email.
What are the best features of Namecheap Private Email?
Private email is collaborative and provides a fresh interface that works across all devices — including tablets, desktops, mobile, and notebooks – allowing users to communicate whenever, and wherever, they want. Private Email allows users to add a public space using shared folders, create and manage work schedules, and much more. Users can set and control tasks with ease. It’s also easy to see the availability of colleagues when planning meetings and events. Learn more about the best features of Private Email.

Private Email is perfect for big and small businesses looking to create a professional email presence. It enables users to set up custom business email addresses that build trust with customers.
Is it necessary to have a Namecheap web hosting plan to use Private Email?
No, you don’t need any web hosting plan to use Private Email. They are two separate products and can be bought independently of one another, but they also work smoothly together.

Differences between Namecheap Private Email and cPanel email →
Can I see what the product interface looks like before buying it?
Yes — we have plenty of videos that show the look and feel of the Private Email interface in our Knowledgebase videos section. You can explore how to set up an email account, migrate email, manage your business email address, and much more.
Are email migrations available when switching to Private Email?
If you are using a third-party email service hosted elsewhere and would like to switch to Private Email, you can easily migrate your old emails to our servers using the webmail interface. Important messages from your Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and other folders can all be moved to your new email accounts. Whether you are using Outlook, Thunderbird, MacMail, or another web-based email service, we assure you that our email migration service supports importing emails and setting up your business email addresses seamlessly. Learn more about how to migrate email.
Which 2FA methods do you support?
Private Email supports TOTP methods of two-factor authentication which is one of the stronger 2FA methods.

TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) is a standardized method that generates a changing temporary code that is unique each time and expires as soon as the new one has been generated. Implementing 2FA enhances the security of your business email account, ensuring that your encrypted email communication remains protected with an additional layer of security.

More information on 2FA →
How can I access my email account?
If you have already created an email account with Private Email, you can access it by visiting the Private Email login page. Enter your full email address (e.g. yourname@yourbusiness.com) and your password, then click the "Login" button to access your inbox.

For those who haven't created an email account yet, start by setting up your email account. This involves creating an email address using your custom domain. For instance, if your domain name is yourbusiness.com, you might create a professional email address such as yourname@yourbusiness.com.
How can I set up my Private Email subscription?

  • Incoming/outgoing server name: mail.privateemail.com (please note that it should not be changed)
