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 [email protected] and choose to forward emails to [email protected]. Then all emails sent to [email protected] will be sent to [email protected].

If you are using another email service with us and want to create an alias, check out our guides below:
