The term e-mail forwarding describes an email being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that isn't listed as a receiver. For instance, a customer sends an e-mail from their personal mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're concerned, it is the only receiver. When there is an active forwarding, the email may be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer in no way meant the email to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mailbox. There are various purposes for using such forwarding. For example, if you have a number of email addresses you'll be able to forward all of them to a one email address, which will make checking emails simpler and allows you to receive e-mails and respond on time. The function could also be used if a number of individuals should get a copy of an e-mail message sent to a standard email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting plan with us and you create e-mail addresses inside your account, you will be able to forward it with only a few mouse clicks to another address of your preference. The option can be activated when you make a new mailbox or whenever you want later and disabled just as easily in case you change your mind. This can be done from the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you will handle your account. You'll have the option to choose if a backup of the incoming e-mails will stay on our servers or not. The main benefit of this option is that you will always have a backup on your end if anything occurs with the other mailbox or if it's not active for whatever reason during the time an email is forwarded. If the feature not active, an e-mail will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system no matter if the remote e-mail address is functioning or not, so it is actually a good idea for it to be active just to be prepared.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

Forwarding an email address hosted in our system can be very straightforward if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with our company and it will not require you more than a couple of clicks to set up. You can do this through the Emails part of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and you'll be able to check the mailboxes that are being forwarded and where your e-mails will be sent with a glance. The feature is activated and deactivated for each of the mailboxes in your account. You can also enable or disable a valuable feature that we provide - a copy of the messages being sent through our system can remain on the server. By doing this, you'll always have a backup copy of your incoming e-mail messages and you'll not need to worry about loss of any information. In case you keep this option deactivated, you run the risk of losing e-mails should there be a problem with the remote email address.
