Purchase Professional Email for an Existing Domain
If you have registered, transferred, or connected a custom domain through WordPress.com, you can add Email by following these steps. Please note that Email can only be added by the user who owns the domain subscription.
1. Go to My Sites → Upgrades → Emails and look for Professional Email.
2. You’ll see the option to add email for your domain. Make sure the domain name is correct and fill in the information for your mailbox. Select a password to use to access your email once the mailbox is created and select a different email address to use in case you lose access to your mailbox so we can send a password reset link. Then click Add Email:

3. If you want more than one mailbox, click “Add Another Mailbox” and repeat these steps for each mailbox you want to create.
4. Next, you will go through checkout where you will be able to confirm the domain name your mailbox(s) will be associated with as well as the number of mailboxes you are purchasing:

You can manage your subscription, including billing, from your WordPress.com dashboard. Click Account Profile (your profile picture on the top right) → Purchases. Then select the email purchase you would like to manage. If you have purchased email for more than one domain, please make sure you are selecting the correct purchase.

You will then see options to turn automatic renewal off or on as well as to remove the purchase.
Access Professional Email Mailbox
Go to My Sites → Upgrades → Emails.
You will see a list of your domains with emails. To manage your email, click the domain you purchased Professional Email for.

Click on the 3 dots menu to the right of the mailbox name, and click on View Mail. Doing so must open a new tab with Titan’s webmail to access your emails. You may be prompted to enter your mailbox password if you haven’t used that browser session to log in previously.

From there, you can manage existing email accounts and create new ones. For more information, please visit Titan’s support site for guidance on how to use their interface.
Cancelling Professional Email Subscription
Removing the purchase gives up any remaining time on your subscription and all features are immediately removed from your site. At this time, it is not possible to cancel individual mailboxes if you have associated an email address for them and they are in use. In this case, canceling your subscription will remove all Email mailboxes from your account.
To remove your Professional Email Subscription, go to your Purchases page then select the Professional Email subscription you want to cancel. From there, click on Remove Email.

Manually Set Up Your DNS
It’s possible to connect a domain to your WordPress.com site using A records, keeping your DNS managed at another provider. In this case, add the following DNS records to your domain for Professional Email:
Type | Handled By | Priority |
---|---|---|
MX | mx1.titan.email | 10 |
MX | mx2.titan.email | 20 |
You will also need to add the following TXT
record: v=spf1 include:spf.titan.email ~all
To set up a DKIM record, generate the record host name and record value in your Professional Email account’s dashboard by following these steps:
- Go to My Sites → Upgrades → Emails.
- Click the domain you purchased Professional Email for.
- Click on Manage all mailboxes to visit your Professional Email control panel.
- Use the Custom DKIM section on the left to generate the record host and value. Once it’s available, add it to your DNS.
For more detailed instructions, visit this Titan help page.
Note: If the domain is using WordPress.com as the DNS host, MX and TXT records will be set up automatically but DKIM records won’t be. You may generate a DKIM record using the steps above, then add it to your DNS at WordPress.com.
