Email Forwarding Solutions

We support a number of free email forwarding solutions. With them you can forward your mail to addresses on your domain to another email address. For example, if you have the email address johndoe@aol.com, you can forward mail to johndoe@mydomain.com to your AOL address with the service. No longer are you tied to your ISP because of your email address.
