Yes, you do get WordPress email accounts when you take out WordPress Hosting with Domains.co.za and the email accounts will be linked to your domain name.
At Domains.co.za, we have intentionally divided our email and WordPress services into separate server environments to ensure that our WordPress Hosting can help your site stay as fast and responsive as possible.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
WordPress Email Accounts
When you choose WordPress Hosting from Domains.co.za, you will receive email accounts associated with your domain. This allows you to create custom email addresses like info@yourdomain.com or contact@yourdomain.com.
In our setup, your website and email services utilize separate resources, ensuring optimal performance for your WordPress site. Emails can consume a large amount of server resources, potentially impacting WordPress site performance.
It’s important to note that your email traffic contributes to your overall resource usage, including monthly bandwidth. This means that all emails sent or received will use part of your allocated bandwidth.
The disk space allocated to your WordPress Hosting plan stores your website files and your email messages. As you accumulate emails, they occupy space on the server along with your website content. Regularly archiving emails can help free up server resources.
Proper email management is important to prevent emails from consuming excessive disk space or bandwidth, which could slow down your website.

Additional Email Storage
As your business grows and you need to add more email accounts for different departments and team members, you may require more resources.
Domains.co.za offers Email Hosting packages to accommodate this growth at a minimal cost. Alternatively, you can look at signing up for a separate Email Hosting package that links to your account, providing additional storage without affecting your WordPress website’s current resources.
Our Email Hosting offers a range of features, including webmail access, spam filtering, email forwarding, autoresponders, and support for various email clients like Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail via POP3 and IMAP protocols.
All of these can be managed directly through the cPanel control included in our plans.
We also include a free email SSL certificate to keep your communications encrypted and safe from interception.
