Two different services, one domain
Web hosting serves your website. Email hosting handles your mailboxes. You can use different providers for each — and often you should.
Why split them
Specialists beat generalists. Dedicated email hosts like WebMail focus on deliverability, security, and uptime, so your emails always land.
Point your DNS correctly
Your `A` records point to your website host. Your `MX` records point to your email host. WebMail gives you the exact records to paste in.
