What is Email Forwarding?
Email forwarding lets you automatically redirect emails sent to any address at your domain (like info@yourdomain.uk) to your preferred external email account (like yourname@gmail.com or sales@outlook.com). With UK Cheapest, you can set up unlimited forwarding aliases – free with every domain.
Why Use Email Forwarding?
- Brand Your Email: Use a professional address on your domain for your business, portfolio, or side project—even if you use Gmail, Outlook, or another provider.
- Centralise Your Inbox: Collect messages from multiple aliases or domains in one inbox, so you never miss important emails.
- Protect Your Privacy: Give out forwarding aliases on your website, forms, or to contacts – change or remove them anytime to control unwanted mail.
- Easy Setup, No Mailbox Needed: No need to manage a separate mailbox; all mail arrives at your chosen account.
Tips for Reducing SPAM
- Choose Unique Aliases:Avoid generic addresses like info@yourdomain.uk or contact@yourdomain.uk—these tend to attract more spam.Use personalised or unique aliases such as john.smith@yourdomain.uk or sales.team@yourdomain.uk for better results.
How to Set Up Email Forwarding
- Choose Your Alias:Decide which address on your domain you want to forward (e.g., sales@yourdomain.uk or you@yourdomain.uk).
- Enter the Forwarding Address:Type the email address where you’d like to receive mail—this can be Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or any email account you prefer.
- Add the Forwarding Rule:Click “Add” to activate the forwarding. All emails sent to your alias will instantly arrive at your chosen destination.
You can add as many forwarding aliases as you need – and remove or edit them at any time from your control panel.
Set up new forwarding rules quickly – just enter your alias, your forwarding address, and click Add!
