To set up a domain alias, please follow the below instructions:
1. If you are subscribed to several hosting packages and have access to several webspaces associated with your account, in the Subscription menu at the top of the screen, please select the required webspace.
2. Go to the Websites & Domains tab.
3. Click Add New Domain Alias above the list of domain names.
4. Type the desired domain alias name, for example alias.com.
Domain aliases can comprise letters, digits and hyphens. Each part of the domain alias between dots should not be longer than 63 symbols.
5. Select the Synchronize DNS zone with the primary domain checkbox if you want the domain alias to use the same DNS zone resource records as in primary domain. With this setting, any subsequent changes in resource records of the primary domain’s zone will be applied to the DNS zone of this domain alias.
6. Select the Mail service checkbox, if you want e-mail directed at the e-mail addresses under the domain alias to be redirected to the e-mail addresses under your original domain name.
Example: You have an e-mail address mail@yourdomain.com. You have set up an alias for your domain name, for example, alias.com. If you want to receive mail to your mailbox mail@yourdomain.com when it is sent to mail@alias.com, select the Mail service checkbox.
7. Select the Web service checkbox. Otherwise, the web server will not serve the web content to users coming to your site by typing the domain alias in their browsers.
8. If you use hosting services based on a Linux platform, and you have Java applications installed on your site that you want to make accessible through the domain alias, select the Java web applications checkbox.
9. Click OK.
