When you've got an e-mail address and you enable forwarding for it, all of the inbound emails will be sent to a third-party mailbox that you pick. The email sender won't be aware of this and he will be sending the e-mail just to the first address. This kind of function is effective in case you have a number of websites, each with a different e-mail for contact, for instance. By forwarding all emails to one particular email, it will be easier for you to keep a record and not miss an e-mail as you have neglected to check on a given e-mail address. If you manage an enterprise, you are able to employ this feature to observe the e-mails received by different divisions. A further advantage is the fact that you are able to make use of an official e-mail address for some reasons, let’s say admin@your-domain.com, and you can get all e-mails sent to it in your personal mailbox. It's also possible to forward emails from one email address to a number of ones, in case a number of individuals should be involved in the e-mail communication.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, that comes with all our shared hosting plans, will help you to forward any e-mail address inside the account to another one without any difficulty. This can be done either during the creation of a brand new email address or whenever you want later in case you decide that you'll need this function. During the process, you will be able to decide if you want a backup of the e-mails to be maintained on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you'll steer clear of the probability to lose an e-mail message if the forwarding is to an exterior address, that is temporarily unavailable. This feature can be activated and deactivated whenever you want, but if you use e-mail for crucial matters, it is far better to use it, because no records of the emails will be kept on the server if the option is not active. In case you decide that you don't need forwarding any more, it takes a click to deactivate it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take you just a couple of clicks inside the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the email addresses set up on our server to a third-party address. Inside the very same section you will also have the ability to see how many of your email addresses are forwarded and where the inbound emails are going. It is possible to activate or disable a forwarding account whenever you want and during the process you can also choose whether a backup copy of the e-mails has to be maintained in our system or not. Even though this option isn't a requirement, it's very useful as you will get a copy of the messages on our end in the event that anything happens with the third-party mailbox. Even if they have just a temporary issue, you run the risk of losing emails as when our system gets and forwards an e-mail message, nothing at all will be kept on our end if you haven’t chosen a backup to be saved.
