Introduction:

Managing high-performance infrastructure like NovaCloud instances, GPU Servers, and Bare Metal Servers requires seamless communication to ensure operational continuity. By configuring Email Forward Settings on Gmail Web, you can automatically redirect incoming messages—such as billing invoices, critical service updates, and support ticket notifications—to a single, centralized address.
