Email Aliases

An Email Alias allows for an alternate name for an email account to be created. In practice, an email alias work like email forwarding, where email addressed to one account is forwarded to another. Unlike Email Forwarding, with Email Aliases no Inbox is provided for the alias account, thus email cannot be checked directly.

You can create up to 2 Email Aliases per paid email account. Email Aliases are created and configured within our Email Administration interface.

To manage your Email Aliases:

• Log into your Webnames.ca account
• Navigate to Account > Domain List
• Click the domain name for which you want to add/edit email accounts.
• Click the Email tab.
• Under the Actions heading, click the Log In button beside Email Administration in the lower section of the page, and then the Enter button to access the Email Administration portal.
• Click Aliases.

To create a new Alias

• Enter a new (non-existent) address into the Alias field
• Enter an existing email address in the Forward to field
• Click Add Alias
