An e-mail alias is a descriptive e-mail address name that fulfills a specific purpose; also known as e-mail forwarding. E-mail aliases should be short, easy-to-remember, and should suggest the function for which they were created. An alias is not an independent e-mail account. It is simply an additional address that delivers to a regular e-mail address. You must respond to e-mail sent to an e-mail alias from a regular e-mail account. Once your new alias is registered, you have the ability to have all mail addressed to domain.com forwarded to your current e-mail address. This means you can make up whatever e-mail address you like to the left of the @domain.com. For example
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected], and
[email protected] will be forwarded to your current e-mail address. This is great for additional advertising purposes and any print publication your organization may encompass. You can also have multiple people take advantage of e-mail forwarding. This will allow everyone in your organization with an e-mail account to take advantage of an easy to remember e-mail address that you can choose.
