Domain Aliases

Domain aliases are domains that you own, but which do not contain any content. Instead, they point to the contents of another domain or subdomain on your account. This is useful, for example, to hold a domain that you will later sell, or to redirect traffic to another domain.

Important:

  • You must register the domain name with a valid registrar.
  • You must point the domain to your account's nameservers.

Create a New Alias

1. To create domain aliases, find “domain” tables and click “Aliases”



2. add a domain alias, enter the domain name in the text box.



3. click Add Domain.
4. To open the alias domain's home directory with cPanel's File Manager interface (Home >> Files >> File Manager), click the link that corresponds to that alias under the Domain Root column of the Remove Aliases table.

Enable or disable domain alias redirection

To enable or disable redirection of a domain alias, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Manage Redirection for the domain alias that you wish to manage.
  2. To redirect the domain, enter the link to which you wish to redirect the domain alias in the text box.
  3. Click Save. To disable the redirection, click Disable Redirection.

Remove Aliases

To remove an existing domain alias, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Remove for the alias that you wish to remove.
  2. Click Yes to confirm that you wish to remove the domain alias. To retain the domain alias, click No.

Important:

  • We strongly recommend that you create a full account backup before you perform this action.
  • This action only removes the domain alias, its vhost entries, and its DNS entries. The system retains the alias's directory contents.
