Creating Email Aliases (Forwarders)
An email alias (also called a forwarder) lets you create additional email addresses that forward to an existing mailbox. For example, you could have sales@yourdomain.com forward to john@yourdomain.com so John receives all sales inquiries without needing a separate mailbox.
How to Create a Forwarder
- Log into cPanel
- In the Email section, click Forwarders
- Click Add Forwarder
- Enter the alias address (the part before @) and select the domain
- Enter the destination email address where messages should be delivered
- Click Add Forwarder
Forwarding to Multiple Addresses
You can create multiple forwarders for the same alias. For example, info@yourdomain.com can forward to both john@yourdomain.com and jane@yourdomain.com. Create two separate forwarder entries with the same source address but different destinations.
Alias vs Full Email Account
Forwarders do not have their own mailbox or password. They simply redirect incoming mail. If you need the address to have its own inbox that you can log into, create a full email account instead through cPanel > Email Accounts.
