Email Forwarders vs. User Accounts
Knowing when to use a Forwarder instead of a Full Account can save you significant time and resources.
-
Use a Full Account when: You need to send emails from that address and need a dedicated inbox. (e.g.,
support@yourdomain.com). -
Use a Forwarder when: You only need to receive mail and want it to go elsewhere. (e.g., create
billing@yourdomain.comand have it forward to your personal Gmail). -
The Advantage: Forwarders do not consume disk space on your Nixzoehost account because they don't store the mailthey simply "pass it through."
