Creating a new alias e-mail address

Learn how to create a new alias/forwarder e-mail address.

  1. Log into your hosting control panel (cPanel)
  2. Under the “Email” section go to “Forwarders”
  3. Click “Add Forwarder”
  4. “Address to Forward”: enter the name of the new alias/forwarder email address
  5. “Forward to Email Address”: enter the destination email address you would like mail forwarded to

You can make other forwarder entries using the same forwarder name if you want to forward to multiple destination email addresses. Also, you can create forwarders for existing mailboxes as well – in those cases mail will be delivered to the mailbox as usual but a copy will also be sent to any destination addresses listed in the “Forwarders” section in cPanel.
