What is email forwarding?
Email forwarding is a service that allows you to redirect emails sent to one email address to another email address. This means that when someone sends an email to your GoDaddy email address, it will automatically be forwarded to another email address of your choice.
How to set up email forwarding in GoDaddy
To set up email forwarding in GoDaddy, follow these steps:
- Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to the "Email" section.
- Click on the "Forwarding" tab.

- Enter the email address you want to forward emails from in the "From" field.
- Enter the email address you want to forward emails to in the "To" field.

Tips and considerations
- You can set up multiple email forwarding rules for different email addresses.
- You can also set up email forwarding for specific domains or subdomains.
- Email forwarding is a one-way process, meaning that emails sent to the forwarded email address will not be delivered to the original email address.
- If you're using email forwarding for business purposes, you may want to consider setting up a professional email address with your own domain name instead of using a GoDaddy email address.
- GoDaddy has a limit on the number of email forwarding rules you can set up, so be mindful of this when setting up multiple forwarding rules.
