Changing the display from name for your domain's aliases

You can set a default display from name for all aliases under a custom domain. When you send or reply from an alias at that domain, the recipient will see this name in the From field (e.g. "Support" in Support <alias@yourdomain.com>) unless you have overridden it for a specific alias. This article explains how to set or change the display from name for a domain.

Where to change the display from name for a domain

  1. Log in and go to Domains in the navigation bar.
  2. Find the domain you want to edit and click "Edit" on the right-hand side of the table.
  3. Find Domain 'From Name'. Enter the name you want recipients to see when you send or reply from aliases at this domain (e.g. "John" or "Jane").
  4. Click Update From Name. New and existing aliases at this domain will use this default; you can still override it per alias if needed.

If you leave the field blank, the From field may show only the alias email address. Setting a default at the domain level keeps a consistent identity for all aliases at that domain unless you change it for individual aliases.
