The term e-mail forwarding describes an email being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that's not listed as a receiver. For example, a customer sends out an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're concerned, it is the single receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the message can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, even though the customer in no way intended the email to be sent there and may not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are several purposes for applying such forwarding. For example, if you have several email addresses you are able to forward them all to a single mail box, which will make keeping track of email messages easier and will allow you to collect emails and respond timely. The feature can also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an electronic message delivered to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

It is really easy to create forwarding for just about any e-mail set up inside a shared hosting account with us. You can do this either while you create a new e-mail address using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or at any moment in the future because the forwarding can be enabled and deactivated for any active email address with only a few mouse clicks. It's also possible to choose if a copy of the inbound e-mails will be kept on our servers, which is a very valuable feature. This can be a fail-safe in case that the remote mailbox is not available for whatever cause, not mentioning you will also have a backup of all e-mails. If this feature is not activated for a given email address on our end, an inbound message will be received and sent forward, so no record of it will remain on the server. If the remote mailbox is down temporarily, you will simply lose this e-mail.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

With a semi-dedicated server package from us, it will take just a couple of clicks to forward one of your email addresses managed in your account to any third-party mailbox. It will be possible to do that through the feature-rich Email Manager part of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and throughout this process you could also decide if a backup of your e-mails should be maintained on our servers or not. The aforementioned feature is optional, but rather valuable because you will get a copy of your inbound emails, so whether or not something happens with the other mailbox, you'll not lose any info. You are able to activate or disable the forwarding for every email address at any time and forward the e-mails to numerous email addresses if you'd like. You will also be able to check out a listing of all of the email addresses that are being forwarded as well as where the emails are being forwarded to.
