How to Create an Email Alias for Bluehost Professional Email

An email alias is an extra email address that sends messages to your main inbox. For example, you can create [email protected] or [email protected] and read those emails alongside your regular mail. You don't need to set up, pay for, or check a separate mailbox. Aliases make your business look more organized and help you sort emails by purpose.

Follow the steps below to add an alias to your Bluehost Professional Email account.
