In the modern era, having control over your email communication is more than just a luxury; it's a necessity. Whether you're running a business, blog, or personal site, ensuring that your emails get to where they're supposed to be is crucial. That's where cPanel, a prominent web hosting management tool, comes into play. If you're hosted with Lazer Hosting, this guide will walk you through creating an email routing in cPanel, detailing its advantages and delving deep into its options.
Why Use Email Routing in cPanel?
Email routing is a function that controls where your emails are delivered. Let’s say you have multiple email addresses, or you have a team, and you want specific emails to be delivered to specific inboxes. Email routing in cPanel can be set up to ensure this happens seamlessly.
Pros of Using Email Routing:
- Customization: Personalize email delivery based on your needs.
- Efficiency: Direct emails to the right recipient, reducing response time.
- Backup: Forward copies of emails to backup addresses.
- Reduction in missed emails: Ensure that important emails aren't overlooked.
- Flexibility: Adjust routes as your team grows or changes.
How to Set Up Email Routing in cPanel with Lazer Hosting
-
Log in to Your cPanel Account: Navigate to the Lazer Hosting cPanel login at https://67-227-23-233.lazerhosting.com:2083 and enter your credentials.
-
Locate the 'Email' Section: Once logged in, scroll until you find the 'Email' category.
-
Click on 'Email Routing': This option will allow you to route your email domains.
Understanding the Email Routing Options:
-
Automatic: This is the default option. cPanel will automatically detect the correct setting based on your domain's DNS.
-
Local Mail Exchanger: Choose this if you want emails to be delivered directly to this server. This is ideal if all your email accounts are hosted with Lazer Hosting.
-
Backup Mail Exchanger: This routes emails to the server only if primary mail exchangers don't accept them. It’s a fallback option.
-
Remote Mail Exchanger: Opt for this if you're using an external email service, like Google Workspace or Office 365. It ensures emails bypass the server and go directly to the external service.
Once you've selected your preferred option, make sure to hit the "Change" button to save your settings.
Advanced Settings - Forwarders:
For more specific routes, such as forwarding an email from one account to multiple addresses, you can set up forwarders.
- Under the 'Email' section, click on 'Forwarders'.
- Click 'Add Forwarder'. Input the address you want to forward from, and the addresses you wish to forward to.
- Confirm the changes.
Conclusion:
Email is the backbone of online communication. Ensuring that it’s routed correctly, especially for business operations, is pivotal. With Lazer Hosting and cPanel's robust email routing options, you can personalize, streamline, and bolster your email communications effortlessly.
