Making an e-mail alias means setting up an e-mail that shares the exact same mailbox with a totally different e-mail address for both the incoming as well as the outgoing messages. For instance, you can make an e-mail address sales@domain.com and it will be associated with its very own mailbox. Then, you can create an alias support@domain.com, which can make use of the mailbox of sales@ and will not have a mailbox of its own. If you look at your emails, you'll see e-mails sent to both of the two addresses in one location, which can be far more convenient in some circumstances since you will not need to log in and out of various email addresses working with webmail or create numerous addresses inside an email application. This feature is frequently used as a replacement for forwarding email messages from a single e-mail address to a different one if a number of addresses are included for contact on a site.
E-mail Aliases in Hosting
With each and every hosting plan we offer, it's possible to make tens and even hundreds of aliases for every mailbox which you have created in the account. The process is really easy and you could create or delete aliases with a couple of clicks with our in-house built Hepsia Hosting Control Panel. This feature will save you time as it will likely be more convenient to handle the messages from different email addresses that you use or that can be on your site in a single place. If you reply, the other side will receive an email from the alias, not coming from the original address linked to the mailbox. You're able to combine this option with mail filters or e-mail forwarding if you need a copy of some types of e-mails in the original mailbox as well as in other independent mailboxes.
