Creating and managing email aliases

Email aliases are a powerful tool that can help you organize your email and make it easier to manage. In this knowledgebase article, we will discuss what email aliases are, why you might want to use them, and how to create and manage them on our hosting platform.

What are Email Aliases?

An email alias is an alternative email address that forwards incoming messages to your primary email account. For example, if your primary email address is john@infinitydomainhosting.com, you can create an alias such as info@infinitydomainhosting.com, and any emails sent to info@infinitydomainhosting.com will be automatically forwarded to your primary email address. This means that you can use different email addresses for different purposes, but still manage all your emails in one place.

Why use Email Aliases?

There are many reasons why you might want to use email aliases. Here are a few examples:

Organize your email:

You can use email aliases to organize your emails by purpose. For example, you can create an alias for all your work-related emails, another for personal emails, and another for online shopping receipts. This makes it easier to filter and search for specific emails.

Protect your privacy:

You can use email aliases to protect your privacy. For example, you can use a different email address for online purchases to avoid receiving spam or unsolicited marketing emails.

Manage multiple accounts:

If you have multiple businesses or websites, you can use email aliases to manage emails for each of them separately, without having to log in and out of different email accounts.
