Add a domain alias to a Hosted Exchange account

The following article explains how to add a new domain alias to a Hosted Exchange account. A domain alias is an additional domain name that is configured for an existing email account. For example, if domainname.com is the name of the mail account, domainname.org can be added as a domain alias. Messages sent to domainname.org will be delivered to the domainname.com email account.

To add a domain alias, please follow these steps:

  1. Open a browser window and go to www.Hosting.com
  2. Click on Control Panel Login.
  3. Log into the Control Panel as the Account Administrator and select the appropriate domain.
  4. Click Hosted Exchange & SharePoint.

  5. Click Domain Aliases.

  6. Enter the name of the domain alias you want.
  • You must set the MX record for the Domain alias to gateway.myexchangeemail.com.
  • You will also need to add an email alias for any user that needs to use the domain alias. This is different from many mail servers. It enables you to use your aliases more flexibly by controlling which users can use the domain alias. You could also set info@domain.com to be an alias of one mailbox, but info@domain.org to another.
