The term e-mail forwarding refers to an e-mail message being forwarded from a recipient address towards a third-party address which isn't listed as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends out an email from their private mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they are involved, it is the only receiver. If there's an active forwarding, the e-mail could be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer in no way intended the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the presence of this mail box. There are different reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've numerous email addresses you'll be able to forward them all to a single email address, which can make keeping track of email messages easier and will allow you to get emails and respond to them on time. The function can also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an e mail message delivered to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Website Hosting

In case you have a shared website hosting plan with us and you set up an email address in your account, you will be able to forward it with no more than a few clicks to any other address of your choice. The feature can be activated whenever you make a new email address or any time later on and deactivated just as easily any time you change your mind. This can be done with the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel in which you will manage your account. You'll have the option to decide whether a backup of the incoming e-mails will remain on our servers or not. The advantage of this option is you will always have a backup on your end if something happens with the other mailbox or if perhaps it is not active for some reason at the time a message is forwarded. If the option is not enabled, a message will be received, forwarded and deleted from our servers regardless of whether the remote e-mail address is functioning or not, so it generally is a wise decision for it to be active just to be prepared.

You will also be able to see a set of all email addresses that you've, those that are forwarded and exactly where they are forwarded to. The option can be enabled and deactivated at any moment and you can now additionally select should a backup of the incoming emails must be maintained on our servers or not.

Even if there's a short-term issue and no emails are lost on our servers, you may still not get a forwarded email in the event it was sent by our servers during the downtime.
