The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail being forwarded from a receiving address towards a third-party address that's not listed as a receiver. For instance, a client sends out an e-mail from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as far as they're involved, it is the single recipient. If there is an active forwarding, the e-mail might be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer in no way intended the e-mail to be sent there and might not be aware of the presence of this mail box. There are several purposes for making use of such forwarding. For instance, if you've got various e-mail addresses you're able to forward them all to a single mail box, which will make checking emails less complicated and will permit you to collect e-mails and respond to them on time. The feature may also be used if a number of people should get a copy of an e-mail message delivered to a general email address.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Web Hosting

It is simple to configure forwarding for any email set up inside a cloud web hosting account from us. This can be achieved either when you set up a brand new e-mail address using your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel, or at any moment afterwards as the forwarding may be activated and deactivated for any current email address with only a couple of clicks. You can also decide if a copy of the inbound messages will be maintained on our servers, a pretty useful option. This can be a fail-safe in case that the remote email address is not accessible for some cause, not mentioning you will have always a backup of all of the messages. If this feature is not enabled for a specific email on our end, an inbound message will be received and sent forward, so zero record of it will stay on the server. In case the remote mailbox is unavailable for the moment, you will simply lose this email.

E-mail Forwarding in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server from us, it will take you only a few mouse clicks inside the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Hosting Control Panel to forward the emails created on our server to a third-party e-mail address. Inside the same section you will also be able to see how many of your mailboxes are forwarded and exactly where the inbound e-mails are sent. You're able to enable or deactivate a forwarding account at any time and throughout the process you can also decide if a backup copy of the e-mails needs to be maintained on our servers or not. Although this feature is not a necessity, it is very useful since you will get a copy of the messages on our end just in case that something occurs with the third-party email address. Even when they have a short-term issue, you run the risk of losing emails as when our system gets and forwards an e-mail, nothing will be stored on our end if you haven’t chosen a backup to be stored.
