Can I use ‘mail.domain’ in my mail client?

Last updated on May 18, 2026

For scale and redundancy reasons we operate each service from its own hostname. So we always recommend using the most relevant hostname for incoming and outgoing servers in mail clients. These are as follows:

  • IMAP: imap.yourdomain.com
  • SMTP: smtp.yourdomain.com

However, for compatibility reasons and to help ease migrations, we automatically setup mail.domainfor each of your packages.

Any clients already using these hostnames can continue to do so when the account is moved to MegabitCloud  Web Hosting, and any new accounts added at MegabitCloud  Web Hosting will have the same functionality.
