- Please follow the steps below to set up an alias domain in DirectAdmin:
- Log in to your client panel as guided here:
How to log in to cPanel or DirectAdmin from the client area
- In your client area, next to your web hosting, click “Control Panel”.
- Once you are logged in to the DirectAdmin panel.
Under the Account Manager section, click on Domain Pointers
Alternatively, you can use the CTRL + J shortcut to find Domain Pointers
Click on it.
- Domain Pointers allow you to "park" additional domain names to your existing hosting account.
This will allow visitors to access your website when they search for the "parked" domains from their browsers.
- Click on the Create Domain Pointer button.
- Enter the domain name in the source domain field and select 'Create as an Alias'
- Click on Create
- The domain name alias is now created.
- The process for creating a domain redirect is similar. However, instead of selecting Domain Setup, navigate to the Account Manager section in the DirectAdmin dashboard and choose Site Redirection.
- I hope that this guide is helpful to you!
