# Email Forwarders (Alias) in cPanel

This article will show you how to:

* [Create an alias (forwarder) address in cPanel](#how-to-create-an-alias-forwarder-in-cpanel)
* [Delete an alias (forwarder) address in cPanel](#how-to-delete-an-alias-forwarder-in-cpanel)

## What is an alias (forwarder) email?

An alias is an email address that forwards all emails sent to it to another email address. If you want professional emails for your business such as sales@, info@, reception@, etc., but don't want to create an email account for each one and have to manage them separately - then an alias is a perfect solution.

For example, if I create the alias [**example@letsgowebcentral.com.au**](mailto:example@letsgowebcentral.com.au) and choose to forward emails to [**johnsmith@letsgowebcentral.com.au**](mailto:johnsmith@letsgowebcentral.com.au). Then all emails sent to [**example@letsgowebcentral.com.au**](mailto:example@letsgowebcentral.com.au) will be sent to [**johnsmith@letsgowebcentral.com.au**](mailto:johnsmith@letsgowebcentral.com.au).
