Why haven't I received a confirmation email?

A few different moments send you a "confirmation" style email. If one hasn't shown up, here's what's actually sent and what to check - the most common case by far is the sign-up verification code, so that's covered in detail below.

The emails we send

  • Verification code - sent the moment you sign up, to confirm the address is yours.
  • Payment receipt - sent right after checkout, with a copy of your invoice.
  • Welcome email - sent once your subscription becomes active.
  • Password reset link - sent when you request one from Forgot password.
  • Domain verified / Brand Account ready - sent once a sending domain's DNS checks pass.

If your verification code hasn't arrived

A few things to know about the sign-up code specifically:

  • It expires 10 minutes after it's sent - request a new one if too much time has passed.
  • Entering the wrong code 5 times invalidates it; you'll need a fresh one.
  • Resends aren't limited by a cooldown timer, but you're capped at 5 codes per hour in total (this includes your original sign-up).
  • Typed your email wrong? Use Change details on the verification screen to correct it and get a new code sent to the right address.

Why emails land in spam or go missing

Our emails are sent from billing@seekahost.email, shown as "SeekaHost Email" in your inbox - worth checking your spam or junk folder for that sender, and marking it as not spam if you find it there. If it's genuinely not arriving after a few minutes and a resend, double-check the email address you signed up with for a typo.
