How to set up an alias domain name

cPanel Domain Aliases are domain names that point to your main domain name, redirecting visitors to the content of another domain name. Your main domain name and alias share the same web pages.

For example, you can own the “.com” and “.ca” versions of your domain name and have them display the exact content. The alias and main domain names do not have separate index pages or folders from your main site. However, they can have their own email addresses. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up an alias domain name.
