Ever wish you could have multiple email addresses without juggling a dozen inboxes? That’s where email aliases come in—a simple, powerful tool that Tremhost makes easy for professionals and businesses alike.
Let’s break down what an email alias is, why you might want one, and how to put it to work for your productivity and privacy.
What Is an Email Alias?
An email alias is like a nickname for your main email account. Instead of creating a whole new inbox, you create an alternate address that forwards messages to your primary email. All the convenience, none of the hassle!
Example:
Let’s say your main address is jane@yourdomain.com. You can create aliases like:
info@yourdomain.comsupport@yourdomain.comsales@yourdomain.com
All emails to these addresses magically arrive in Jane’s main inbox—no extra logins needed.
Why Use Email Aliases?
1. Privacy and Spam Protection
Share an alias (like newsletter@yourdomain.com) when signing up for online offers. If spam hits that alias, simply delete or disable it—while your main address stays safe.
2. Professionalism and Organization
Create dedicated aliases for departments or roles (billing@yourdomain.com, hr@yourdomain.com). This organizes incoming mail and makes your business look more polished.
3. Flexibility
Running a campaign or event? Make a special alias (event2024@yourdomain.com) and retire it when you’re done.
4. One Inbox, Many Hats
No need to check multiple accounts—manage everything from a single, easy-to-use Tremhost inbox.

Step 3: Add a New Alias

Pro Tips for Using Email Aliases
- Filter with Rules: Set up inbox filters so emails to specific aliases are auto-sorted—no clutter!
- Reply Smartly: When replying, your email client may use your main address. If you want replies to show as coming from the alias, set up “Send As” or “Identities” in your email client.
- Monitor and Maintain: Regularly review your aliases to keep your email system tidy and efficient.
