Best way to setup email forwarding for parked domains?

[3 Grey Star Level]

I have a number of parked domains for a website. I’d also like to forward any email to these domains to the primary domain (or other).

What is the best way to handle forwards? Should I direct the parked domain to another domain in Forwarders? Or should I setup a catch-all for each parked domain in Default Address? Or both?

Answer #1

Both options are valid ways of checking the emails on your parked domain. If you don’t need to reply from that domain ([email protected]) then you can simply forward the emails. If you need to reply directly from that domain address, then you would need to setup an email account.

For my sites, I have all the standard TDL extensions (.com / .net / .org etc) so I just have all emails forward to my primary domain. Because I only want to reply from the .com, this works. Your situation/needs may be different, so that is a judgment call you will need to make.

I hope this information will be of help to you. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let us know.

Happy Hosting!
