Custom Domain Email: Mailbox Setup and Hosting Guide

Custom domain email explained

A proper domain mailbox lets you send and receive as you@yourdomain.co.uk

Choose a mailbox when you want to send and receive as you@yourdomain.co.uk. Choose forwarding when you only want incoming messages passed to an inbox you already use.

What you need to set up a domain mailbox

1

Your registered domain

The domain must remain renewed and connected to the email service. UKC handles this connection when you add Custom Domain Email to a parked UKC domain.

2

A mailbox and password

Buy and manage Custom Domain Email from the domain control centre. Use the full email address as the username and keep the password private.

3

The settings below

Copy the server name, port numbers and security choices into your email app. Use your full email address as the username.

Settings to copy into your phone or computer

Use webmail.ukc.uk whenever the app asks for the incoming server or outgoing server. You can also visit that address in a browser to read and send email without setting up an app.

ServiceServerPort and security
IMAP incomingwebmail.ukc.uk993 with SSL/TLS – recommended
SMTP outgoingwebmail.ukc.uk587 with STARTTLS – recommended
SMTP alternativewebmail.ukc.uk465 with implicit TLS
POP alternativewebmail.ukc.uk995 with SSL/TLS

Use the complete email address as the username. If the app asks whether the outgoing server requires authentication, choose Yes and use the same email address and password.

Prices exclude VAT and can change. Check the domain control centre for the current price and total before ordering.

Good habits for business email

Keep the domain connected

Do not change email DNS records unless you know why the change is needed. These records tell other mail systems where to deliver messages and help them recognise genuine email from your domain.

Send responsibly

Use accurate sender details, do not buy mailing lists and investigate repeated delivery failures. These habits help protect your domain’s sending reputation.

Use IMAP on your devices

IMAP keeps the same messages and folders on your phone, computer and webmail. Your outgoing mail also needs to sign in with the full email address and password.

Keep important records

Seeing the same email on several devices is not a separate backup. If messages must be kept for business or legal reasons, export or archive them somewhere independent.

Questions about custom domain email

Do I get email just by registering a domain?

A UKC domain includes email forwarding tools. A mailbox that stores and sends messages is a separate email or hosting service unless the selected product says otherwise.

Can I use Outlook, Apple Mail or a phone?

Yes. Use the account’s secure IMAP and SMTP settings. The exact server hostname should match the certificate presented by the service.

Can I keep Gmail as my inbox?

You can forward incoming mail to Gmail. To send as your domain reliably, use a Custom Domain Email mailbox or another proper outgoing-mail service.

What Does Domain Parking Status Mean?

Domain Parking Status

Parked means the domain is using the UKC parking nameservers and tools

A parked domain can use the Domain Website Builder, DNS Manager, Web Forwarding and Email Forwarding. If the status says it is not parked, another nameserver service is authoritative and UKC parking tools cannot control the live DNS until the domain is pointed back.

Check My DomainUnderstand the status
PARKEDns.ukc.ukand ns2.ukc.uk
TOOLSBuilder and forwardingDNS and email controls
NOT PARKEDExternal authorityEdit DNS at that provider

What do the two statuses mean?

Domain is parked

The active nameservers use the UKC parking service. Domain Tools in the Client Area can control the parked website, DNS and forwarding.

Domain is not parked

The active nameservers point elsewhere, such as shared hosting or another platform. Make live DNS changes with the authoritative provider.

What is included while a domain is parked?

Domain Website Builder

Create an AI-assisted single-page website, edit it without limits and use the advanced HTML editor when needed.

DNS Manager

Manage records with straightforward controls and presets for services such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

Web Forwarding

Send visitors to another website using a permanent or temporary redirect.

Email Forwarding

Create addresses at the domain and forward incoming messages to an inbox you already use.

How do I park or unpark a domain?

  1. 1
    Open the domain

    Sign in to the UKC Client Area, open My Domains and select the domain.

  2. 2
    Record existing DNS

    Save nameservers and every important website, email and verification record before replacing anything.

  3. 3
    Choose the nameservers

    Use UKC parking defaults to park the domain, or enter the exact nameservers supplied by the external service to unpark it.

  4. 4
    Check after caches update

    Test the website and email. Nameserver changes can take time to appear through every resolver.

What should I check before changing parking status?

ServiceRisk when nameservers change
WebsiteThe new DNS must point to the correct site or visitors may see a parking page or error
EmailMX and sender-authentication records must exist at the new DNS provider
VerificationTXT and CNAME values for third-party services can be lost if they are not copied
UKC parking toolsThey stop controlling live traffic when another nameserver service becomes authoritative

Check before changing

Nameservers control more than the website

Preserve email and verification records as well as the visible page.
