So I made a website and I want to add a personal email address to the site. I bought an email domain of namecheap and my hosting is being done by webhosting for students, I now want to set up my email address so I can send and recieve mail. How do I do this because I haven't got a clue and everything I read confuses me more..

Those can be added into your email client together with your passwords that should enable you to send and receive using your domain.
Have you got details of the SMTP server and an IMAP one, perhaps?

This is possibly the easiest way.

12,035 PointsI just wanted to explain myself again you guys are well ahead of me I've pretty much not got a clue so bare with me if you can. I bought a domain of namecheap and my hosting from webhostingforstudents and set up the site fine. I then wanted a personal email address for the site and bought a domain of namecheap. So now I have bought this domain but I haven't got a clue what I'm doing with it.
When I'm reading through things alot say log onto my control panel which I have but my problem is that I don't understand the process so I don't know the next step.
