Alias domains are domain names that point to the same website. You can create an alias domain like examples.com that points to the website example.com. Both sites we be exactly identical and will show the same content.

- From the sidebar locate the Websites section.
- Select Aliasdomain for website.
To create a new Aliasdomain:
- Click on Add new Aliasdomain.
- In the Aliasdomain field, enter the name of the alias domain. (For example, if you want examples.com to point to the same website as example.com, enter examples.com in the Aliasdomain field.)
- From the Parent Website dropdown list, select the parent website that you would like your alias domain to point to. (For example, If example.com is the parent website, examples.com will point to example.com.)
- From the Redirect Type dropdown list, make a selection. This field allows you to disable or enable redirect. It also allows you to select the redirect flag. (Refer to previous sections for more information on redirects.)
- In the Redirect Path field, enter the redirect path. The redirect path is the route taken to reach a destination. This is the path (full path or path relative to the document root) or URL where the redirect should point to. (Also known as the ‘target’ path).
