Making an email alias means setting up an e-mail which shares the same mailbox with a different e-mail address for both the incoming as well as the outbound messages. For instance, you can make an address sales@domain.com and it will be linked to a unique mailbox. Next, you can make an alias support@domain.com, that will use the mailbox of sales@ and will not use a mailbox of its own. Every time you check your e-mails, you will notice e-mail messages sent to either one of the two email addresses in one place, which can be more convenient in some cases because you will not need to sign in and out of numerous mailboxes using webmail or set up various addresses inside an email application. This option can be used as a replacement for forwarding messages from one address to a new one if numerous email addresses are mentioned for contact on a web site.
E-mail Aliases in Shared Web Hosting
Setting up an alias for any mailbox will be very easy when you've got a shared web hosting plan with us. This can be done from the Emails part of the Hepsia Control Panel, used to control the website hosting accounts and it takes just a couple of clicks. It is easy to add or delete a lot of aliases at any moment and save your time whenever you control the emails for a few emails which you use - for example, various business units inside a corporation or different parts of a site. In case you get messages from a lot of email addresses in one mailbox, but people needs to have a duplicate of specific e-mails, you'll be able to combine the aliases with e-mail forwarding and/or email filters, which can also be configured through Hepsia.
