Creating an e-mail alias means making an email address which shares the same mailbox as a different address both for the incoming as well as the outbound e-mail messages. For instance, you can make an address sales@domain.com and it'll be linked to a unique mailbox. Next, you can make an alias support@domain.com, which can use the mailbox of sales@ and will not have a mailbox of its own. Once you check your email messages, you'll see email messages sent to both of the two addresses in one location, which can be far more convenient in some cases because you will not need to log in and out of different mailboxes using webmail or set up multiple addresses in an email application. This option is normally used as an alternative choice to forwarding email messages from a single address to another one if multiple addresses are mentioned for contact on a website.
E-mail Aliases in Shared Website Hosting
With each shared website hosting plan we offer, you are able to make tens and even hundreds of aliases for any mailbox you have created in the account. The process is quite simple and you can add or erase aliases with a couple of mouse clicks from our in-house developed Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. This function can save you precious time considering that it will probably be far more convenient to manage the messages from different email addresses which you use or which are on your site in one place. Any time you respond, the other side will get an email from the alias, not coming from the original e-mail address linked to the mailbox. You'll be able to combine this feature with e-mail filters or e-mail forwarding if you need a backup of some kinds of e-mails in the main mailbox and in other separate mailboxes.
E-mail Aliases in Semi-dedicated Servers
For people with a semi-dedicated server through us and you also wish to set up aliases for any existing mailbox from the account, it won't take you more than a couple of clicks to get this done. You can create or remove aliases for a specific mailbox any time from the Emails section of the in-house made Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated plans. The function allows you to control your email messages much easier if you use various e-mail addresses in different parts of your web site. In case you combine it with our email forwarding feature and the filters that you can create, replicates of all inbound e-mails delivered to different e mail addresses/aliases may be kept in the primary mailbox for common usage and in the email addresses of others - company personnel responsible for various tasks, for instance.
