How to create an alias email account using Cloud Hosting or Domain Manager

An alias email lets you create a professional-looking email address, that forwards all emails sent to it to another inbox like your Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud address.

So, if you’re not ready for professional email hosting yet but still want a professional address where customers can reach you, an alias is the perfect solution.

To create an alias make sure you have a service that allows you to create alias email addresses:

• If you have a Microsoft email, click here
• If you have cPanel, click here
• If you have Cloud Hosting or Domain Manager, follow the below steps:

1. Log in to your Webcentral account
2. Click Manage next to your domain
3. Click Email (or Create New Email)

1. From the drop-down menu select Alias account

1. Click Create Email
2. Next to ALIAS NAME,name your alias address (only type in the part before the @ symbol)

Tip: use something generic like info or contact

1. Next to TARGET ADDRESS, type in your existing email account, the one you want your emails forwarded to

(e.g. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc.)

1. Click Create alias

Your customers can now send emails to your alias, and they will arrive at your chosen email account.

Remember, an alias is only for inbound emails. Any replies you send will come from your real email address. To send emails from your professional address, you’ll need to upgrade to an email hosting product. You can check out Webcentral’s email products on our website, or chat with a sales specialist.
