E-mail Aliases

Discover what e-mail aliases are and how they work as part of your hosting account.

An email alias is an email address which uses the same mailbox as the initial e-mail. For example, you could have john@domain.com as your original e-mail address and add an alias doe@domain.com. The 2 addresses will be able to share the exact same mailbox, so messages sent to either one of them will be received in a single place. You can use aliases for several purposes, such as getting in touch with different types of people or signing up on sites. For those who begin to get lots of spam, for instance, you can just eliminate the alias while your original mailbox won't be affected at all and you will keep the e-mails you need. Aliases in many cases are viewed as an alternative to forwarding messages from one mailbox to another if you use two or more email address for contact on your website.

E-mail Aliases in Cloud Hosting

With each cloud hosting package we provide, you are able to make tens or even hundreds of aliases for any mailbox that you have created in the account. The process is quite simple and you could add or delete aliases with a couple of clicks from our in-house made Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. This feature will save you time considering that it is easier to manage the emails from various e-mail addresses that you use or which are listed on your site in a single place. Once you answer, the other side will receive an e-mail from the alias, not from the primary address linked to the mailbox. You can combine this option with mail filters or email forwarding if you want a copy of some types of emails both in the primary mailbox and in other independent email addresses.

E-mail Aliases in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server through our company and you also want to set up aliases for each active e-mail address in your account, it won't take you more than several mouse clicks to get this done. It is easy to add or remove aliases for a given mailbox at any moment through the Emails section of the in-house made Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated packages. The function allows you to manage your e-mail messages much easier when you have various e-mail addresses in different sections of your site. In case you combine it with our email forwarding feature and the filters you could create, copies of all inbound emails sent to completely different email addresses/aliases may be kept in the primary mailbox for common usage and in the mailboxes of others - company staff in control of different tasks, for example.
