mailbox
A mailbox is the repository into which email associated with one or more email addresses is sent essentially a private, virtual inbox that receives and stores email until you delete it. Each mailbox must have a unique email address, but if you have a business email account, it can also receive and store mail sent via an alias, which acts as an extra address for that mailbox.

mail forward
A mail forward is an extra email address for a mailbox. A mail forward does not have its own password or mailbox; rather, a mail forward redirects (forwards) mail to a specified mailbox. The mail forward feature is included in business email. Learn more about mail forwards.

mailing list
A mailing list is a list of email addresses used to send the same message to a group of individuals. When customers make purchases at your online store, they can enter an email address to receive correspondence about their order and special offers from your company. With a Merchant Solutions plan, we'll automatically maintain these addresses as a secure mailing list for you, which you can use to send newsletters or marketing emails. Learn more.

You can use Maps to provide a personalized way for your visitors to locate your business or other destination. Learn more about add-ons.

masked forward
A masked forward is a type of domain forwarding that allows you to conceal the web address of your destination web site. This type of forwarding masks the fact that your visitor has been redirected to a different web site, allowing you to easily set up an alternative web address for a web site with a less desirable domain name.

megabyte

• 1,000 bytes (B) = 1 kilobyte (KB)
• 1,000 kilobytes (KB) = 1 megabyte (MB)
• 1,000 megabytes (MB) = 1 gigabyte (GB)
