Making an email alias means setting up an e-mail address that shares the same mailbox with a different e-mail address both for the incoming and the outgoing e-mails. For example, you’re able to create an address sales@domain.com and it will be linked to its own mailbox. After that, you can create an alias support@domain.com, that will make use of the mailbox of sales@ and won't have a mailbox of its own. Once you check your email messages, you'll see messages sent to either one of the two email addresses in one location, which might be more convenient in some cases since you will not have to sign in and out of numerous mailboxes working with webmail or set up numerous addresses inside an email application. This option is usually used as a substitute for forwarding emails from a single address to another one if multiple addresses are listed for contact on a website.
E-mail Aliases in Hosting
With every hosting plan that we offer, you are able to make tens or even hundreds of aliases for every mailbox that you have created in the account. The process is really easy you'll be able to create or erase aliases with a few clicks from our in-house built Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. This feature will save you precious time because it will probably be far more convenient to handle the messages from various e-mail addresses which you use or that are on your site in one place. Once you respond, the other side will receive an e-mail from the alias, not from the main address linked to the mailbox. You'll be able to combine this feature with e-mail filters or e-mail forwarding should you prefer a backup copy of some types of messages both in the main mailbox and in other separate mailboxes.
