What is domain Alias and how to create it in cpanel?

[kumkumsharma]

Alias feature helps you to load your website with another domain name. You can also called it Parked domain, if you create Alias fordomain then cpanel automatically redirect that domain to main domain.

For example if www.domain.org is your main domain and www.domainname.com is your another domain. If you want to redirect www.domainname.com to main domain (www.domain.org) but want to display you main domain name (www.domainname.com) then domain Alias will help you.

You can follow below steps to create Domain Alias in cpanel:

• Login to cpanel.
• Click on “Alias” option under “Domain” section.
• Here you can create new alias by entering the domain name.
• At last enter “Add Domain”.

NOTE: You have to keep 2 things in mind, 1. your domain should be registered and valid domain name. 2. Domain’s nameserver should be point to cpanel account.

In older cpanel you will get option Parked Domains so don’t get confused. Alias and Parked Domains are same function.
