How do I create a referral e-mail address?

To create your own e-mail address, you do not necessarily need your own mailbox with Easyhost . You can create an e-mail address at which you have the e-mails forwarded to an existing e-mail address. This is called an e-mail alias.

Create e-mail address with forward to another, existing e-mail address

Create an e-mail address that forwards the e-mails with an e-mail alias. The mails then arrive in another existing mailbox.

Follow these steps in the control panel:

1. Go to “My products”> “E-mail hosting”> Click on “Manage e-mail” next to the domain name for which you want to set up an e-mail forward.
2. Select “Aliases” in the menu on the left and after that, click on “Add”.
3. Enter the data as follows to create your e-mail address (alias) (see image):
   • E-mail address : Enter your desired e-mail address.
   • Destination : Enter the e-mail address to which you want to send the e-mails from your new e-mail address.
4. Confirm and your e-mail forward (alias) is active.

Note that free mailboxes from Microsoft and Google (@hotmail.com, @gmail.com) are increasingly blocking such a mail forward.
A mail forward works best if the destination is a mailbox with your own domain name (e.g. jonas@jouwdomeinnaam.be).
