How to create a professional email address on OVH?
Prerequisites
To be able to create a professional email address on OVH, you must first have your domain name subscribed to a hosting (server). At OVH, you have the choice between several offers (see more details here )
As you can see, a Kimsufi Web hosting at 1.49 / month will allow you to create up to 2 business addresses. If you wish more professional address you will have to choose other offers of OVH (ex: Personal, 10 accounts …)
No stress, you can subscribe to OVH hosting at any time, while you bought your domain name or after.
