Alias Email

Email alias service to protect your main address, separate usages and create aliases on several domains, including your own.

Alias Email lets you create separate forwarding addresses for registrations, newsletters, purchases or service tests. Your main address stays less exposed, and each alias can be disabled or deleted later if a website becomes too noisy, leaks your data or no longer needs to contact you.

The service is based on addy.io, formerly AnonAddy, free software dedicated to email aliases and message forwarding. Hostux provides several alias domain names and also allows you to add your own domain if you want stronger customization and separation between your usages.

• Each alias redirects messages to your configured recipient or recipients.

• Use a different alias for each site or category of service.
• Keep your main address for personal, administrative or trusted exchanges.
• Create dedicated aliases for newsletters, online purchases, forums and temporary trials.
• Do not treat an alias as magic protection: it reduces exposure, but it does not make you invisible.

• Create an alias for an online shop, marketplace or trial service.
• Isolate newsletters, forums and secondary services with dedicated addresses.
• Quickly identify which registration caused spam.
• Cut off a compromised alias without changing your main address everywhere.
