The term email forwarding refers to a message being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address that isn't listed as a recipient. For example, a customer sends an e-mail from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, this is the single recipient. When there is an active forwarding, the email may be sent to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer in no way intended the email to be sent there and might not be aware of the existence of this mailbox. There are various reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've got various e-mail addresses it is possible to forward them all to a single mailbox, which will make checking email messages easier and will allow you to receive messages and respond on time. The feature could also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e-mail message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Website Hosting

It really is easy to set up forwarding for virtually every email address configured inside a shared website hosting account from our company. This can be accomplished either when you create a new email address using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or at any time afterwards since the forwarding may be enabled and disabled for every active email address with just a couple of clicks. It's also possible to decide if a backup copy of the incoming messages will be kept on our servers, a really useful option. This can be a fail-safe if the remote mailbox is not available for whatever cause, not mentioning you will also have a backup of all emails. When this option is not activated for a specific email address on our end, an incoming email will be received and sent forward, so zero record of it will stay on our server. If the remote mailbox is inaccessible for the moment, you will simply lose this email.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

For people with a semi-dedicated server through our company, it will take simply a few clicks inside the Email Manager part of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward any of the emails set up on our end to a third-party address. In the same area you will also be able to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound e-mails are sent. You can enable or deactivate a forwarding account at any moment and throughout the process you may also choose whether a copy of the e-mails has to be maintained in our system or not. Even though this option is not a necessity, it is quite handy because you will get a backup copy of the messages on our end in case that anything occurs with the third-party mailbox. Even if they have only a momentary problem, you risk losing e-mail messages as once our server receives and forwards an e-mail, nothing will be stored on our end unless you chosen a backup to be maintained.
