The term email forwarding describes an e-mail being forwarded from a recipient address to a third-party address which is not listed as a recipient. For example, a client sends out an email from their personal mailbox to support@domain.com and as much as they're involved, it is the only receiver. If there is an active forwarding, the email can be forwarded to owner@domain.com, for example, although the customer in no way meant the email to be sent there and may not be aware of the existence of this mail box. There are various reasons for using such forwarding. For instance, if you've numerous email addresses it is easy to forward them all to a single mailbox, which will make checking emails easier and allows you to receive emails and respond on time. The feature can also be used in case a number of individuals should receive a copy of an email message sent to a general mailbox.

E-mail Forwarding in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you have a cloud website hosting plan with our company and you set up e-mail addresses in your account, you'll be able to forward it with only a couple of mouse clicks to another address of your preference. The option can be activated whenever you set up a new email address or whenever you want afterwards and disabled just as quickly any time you change your mind. This can be done through the Hepsia Hosting Control Panel where you can handle your account. In addition, you will have the option to choose if a duplicate of the inbound e-mails will remain on our servers or not. The main benefit of this feature is basically that you will always have a backup on your server if anything happens with the other email address or if perhaps it isn't active for some reason at the time an email is forwarded. In case the feature not enabled, an e-mail will be received, forwarded and deleted from our system even if the remote email address is functioning or not, so it might be a good idea for it to be active just to be on the safe side.
