Alias Domains - Multiple domains accessing the same website

A typical website has a single domain name that accesses a single website.

With domain aliases, you have the ability to add an unlimited number of domain names that will all access a single website. For example, if you have a hosting account with the domain yourdomainname.com and yourdomainalias.com was set up as an alias to yourdomainname.com; when either domain name was entered into a browser, they would both display the website for your primary domain name, yourdomainname.com.

Alias domains also take on the attibutes for mail directed to your primary domain name. Any account created on the main domain exists on all of the domains aliased to it. For example, if you create an account named mailbox@yourdomainnname.com, any mail sent to mailbox@yourdomainalias.com would go to the account for the primary domain.

To set up an alias, go to the "Add Services" section of User Services menu in the Control Panel. Enter the domain name you wish to register. If it is a new domain, select "Register a new domain name". If the domain is already registered, choose either "Transfer your existing domain" or "Leave domain on current registrar". Click continue, the choose Domain Parking as the hosting plan. Click Continue. You will now have the option to alias this new domain to an existing hosting package (website).
