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 email sender won't be aware of this and he will send the e-mail only to the first address. This function is useful in case you have numerous web sites, each one with a unique e-mail for contact, for example. By forwarding all emails to just one email, it will be simpler for you to keep a record and never miss an e-mail as you have neglected to check on a certain e-mail. For those who run an enterprise, you’re able to use this feature to observe the emails received by different departments. An additional benefit is the fact that you can make use of an official e-mail address for a number of needs, let’s say admin@your-domain.com, and you can get all of the messages sent to it in your private mailbox. It's also possible to forward emails from a single email to numerous ones, if a number of people needs to be involved with the email communication.
E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all our shared hosting plans, will let you forward any email address inside the account to a second one without difficulty. You can do this either during the creation of a new mailbox or at any time afterwards if you choose that you will need this function. During the process, you will be able to consider if you need a duplicate of the email messages to be kept on the server. In this way, you will 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, which can be temporarily unavailable. This feature can be activated and deactivated whenever you want, but if you use emails for critical matters, it is advisable to use it, since no data of the e-mails are kept on the server if the option is not active. In case you determine that you don't need forwarding any more, it will take a click to disable it.
E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server through us, you'll need a few clicks inside the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the emails created 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 mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound messages are going. It is possible to activate or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and during the process you could also decide whether a backup of the messages needs to be kept on our servers or not. Although this option is not a must have, it's very useful as you will get a backup copy of the emails on our end just in case that something occurs with the third-party email address. Even if they've got simply a momentary problem, you run the risk of losing e-mail messages as when our system gets and forwards an e-mail message, absolutely nothing will be kept on our end if you haven’t selected a copy to be maintained.
