How to create an email account forwarder



Once you register your domain name (e.g yourwebsite.com ) , you would usually want to have a customized email address like info@yourwebsite.com , support@yourwebsite.com and the rest. As a brand, you really wouldn’t want to keep using free email services like Gmail, Yahoo, Mail, Hotmail etc on your branded materials because they don’t exactly look official; besides, very few people would take a business using free emails services on its branded materials seriously.

Don’t get it wrong, your email system will still very much be powered by these free email service providers at the backed but you’ll just have something else at the front end (more like a screen saver or pretty face) which you’ll give out.

So how do email forwarders work?

What the email forwarder actually does is to forward any email sent to a particular emails address specified in your DNS (e.g info@yourwebsite.com) to an email address you assign (e.g youremailaddress@gmail.com).

Can I assign more than one forwarder to the same email address?

Yes. For example, you can assign both support@yourwebsite.com and info@yourwebsite.com to youremailaddress@gmail.com
