The term email forwarding refers to an email being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address which isn't mentioned as a receiver. For example, a customer sends an e-mail from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, this is the only recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the message can be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are numerous purposes for making use of such forwarding. For example, if you've several email addresses it is possible to forward each of them to a sole mail box, which can make keeping track of e-mails less difficult and allows you to collect e-mails and respond in a timely manner. The function could also be used in case a number of individuals should get a copy of an e mail message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

It is simple to create forwarding for every email created in a shared hosting account from us. This can be accomplished either when you set up a brand new email address in your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or any time afterwards since the forwarding can be enabled and disabled for any active email address with only a few clicks. It's also possible to choose if a backup copy of the inbound e-mails will be kept on our servers, which is a really useful option. This will be a fail-safe whenever the remote mailbox is not available for some reason, not mentioning that you'll have always a backup of all e-mails. When this option is not activated for a specific email address on our end, an incoming e-mail will be received and sent forward, so no record of it will stay on our server. In case the remote email address is unavailable for the moment, you will simply lose this message.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Servers

Forwarding an email address located in our system will be very straightforward if you have a semi-dedicated server plan with us and it will not require you more than a few clicks to set up. This can be done from the Emails section of the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel and you'll be able to keep an eye on the mailboxes which are being forwarded and where your messages are going to with a glance. The option can be activated and deactivated for each of the email addresses in your account. You can also enable or disable a helpful option we have - a backup of the messages being sent through our system can stay on the server. In this way, you'll also have a backup copy of your incoming emails and you will not need to be worried about losing any info. If you keep this option deactivated, you risk losing e-mails when there is an issue with the remote mailbox.
