How do I create a domain alias in cPanel
Our cPanel hosting allows you to set up unlimited aliases using the domain alias tool in cPanel, don’t have a domain? Get your custom domain name now!
Aliases can be a useful tool for utilizing multiple domains when only one domain has content. This is because they make your existing website available from the other domain name or the alias.
An example of this would be the following: you currently operate an e-commerce store from the domain name terrysshop.com, but you might also own terrysshopping.com and terrysshop.net. Using a domain alias, mirror content on terrysshop.com across the domains. And, because your domain is under the same DNS zone, you can use an alias to point towards a subdomain, giving further opportunities for customization.
Using the aliases tool in cPanel
Note: Domains must be registered and configured to point to the server before they can be used as an alias. Haven’t configured, your domain? Change your nameservers!

- Next, in cPanel, scroll down to the domains section and click aliases. This takes you to the aliases tool.
