A mail alias simply forwards e-mail messages to a specific e-mail address. Mail aliases are often used for long or generic e-mail address likes sales@example.com or webmaster@example.com
A mail address has two parts: the alias address and the e-mail address to forward messages to.
To create mail aliases, you will need to log into our Hosting Control Panel.
