When you've got an email and you activate forwarding for it, all inbound messages will be sent to a third-party email address that you choose. The e-mail sender will not be aware of this and he will be sending the email to the initial address. This kind of feature is useful if you have a number of websites, each with a unique e-mail address for contact, for example. By forwarding all messages to a single email, it will be simpler for you to keep track and not neglect a message because you have neglected to check on a certain email. In case you manage a business, you’re able to take advantage of this feature to watch the communication received by various divisions. A further advantage is that you're able to make use of an official e-mail address for various reasons, let’s say admin@your-domain.com, and you can now get all of the e-mail messages sent to it in your personal mailbox. In addition, you can forward email messages from one email to multiple ones, if a number of people should be involved with the e-mail conversation.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all of our shared hosting packages, will help you forward any e-mail in the account to a different one without any difficulty. You can do this either throughout the creation of a brand new mailbox or at any time later in case you choose that you'll need this function. During the process, you will be able to choose if you need a duplicate of the email messages to be kept on the server. This way, you'll have a backup and you'll steer clear of the probability to lose an e-mail if the forwarding is to an exterior address, which is momentarily inaccessible. This option can be activated and deactivated any time, and if you use e-mail for critical matters, it is better to use it, because no records of the e-mails are maintained on the server if the option is not active. In case you decide that you don't need forwarding any longer, it will take only a click to disable it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server from our company, you will need just a couple of clicks inside the Email Manager area of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the e-mails configured on our server to a third-party address. In the same area you will additionally have the ability to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and where the incoming messages are going. It is possible to activate or disable a forwarding account at any moment and during the process you can also choose whether a backup copy of the email messages should be maintained on our servers or not. Even though this option is not a requirement, it is handy since you will get a copy of the messages on our end just in case that anything occurs with the third-party email address. Even if they have a short-term issue, you risk losing emails as when our system receives and forwards an e-mail, nothing will be kept on our end unless you chosen a backup to be saved.
