The term email forwarding describes an email message being forwarded from a receiving address to a third-party address which isn't mentioned as a recipient. For instance, a customer sends an email from their private mail box to support@domain.com and as far as they're concerned, it is the single recipient. If there's an active forwarding, the email could be sent to owner@domain.com, for instance, although the customer never meant the message to be sent there and might not be aware about the existence of this mailbox. There are several reasons for making use of such forwarding. For instance, if you have numerous emails it is possible to forward all of them to a one mail box, which can make checking e-mails easier and will allow you to get messages and respond quickly. The feature can also be used if a number of people should receive a copy of an electronic message sent to a general mail box.

E-mail Forwarding in Shared Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all the shared hosting packages, will let you forward any email in the account to a different one without any difficulty. You can do this either during the creation of a brand new email address or whenever you want later if you decide that you want this function. During the process, you will be able to decide if you need a backup of the emails to be maintained on the server. In this way, you'll have a backup and you'll prevent the probability to lose an e-mail if the forwarding is to an exterior address, which is momentarily inaccessible. This feature can be enabled and disabled any time, but if you use emails for crucial matters, it is better to use it, since no data of the email messages will be maintained on the server when the option is not enabled. If you determine that you don't need forwarding anymore, it takes simply a mouse click to disable it.
