How to Alias a Domain
Domain aliasing allows you to use multiple domains to point to the same website without redirection.
Here’s how to alias your domain:
Step-by-Step Guide to Domain Aliasing
- Log In to Your Hosting Account: Sign in to the account where your website is hosted.
- Access Domain Settings: Navigate to the domain settings section, often found under “Domain Management” or “DNS Settings.”
- Add Alias (CNAME): Look for an option to add a CNAME record, which is used for aliasing domains.
- Enter Alias Information:
- Alias Name: Enter the alias domain name (e.g., DACAatty.com).
- Points To: Enter the primary domain or the subdomain you want the alias to point to (e.g., your main website’s URL).
- Save Changes: Save your settings. The changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate.
- Update DNS Records: Ensure your DNS records are updated with the alias information. This might involve adding a CNAME record at your domain registrar.
