3. Click on the domain name you wish to create a domain alias for.


4. Click on the ‘Domain Alias’ button. This will take you to the Domain Alias manager


5. Add a new Domain Alias by clicking the corresponding button (Add Domain Alias).


6. In the ‘Domain alias name’ field, enter the domain you wish to use an as alias. (ie: If you entered domain.com, domain.com would take you to the domain listed on your account.)


7. Check the ‘Mail’ and ‘Web’ checkboxes to use this alias for receiving email and web service.




• Selecting the 'Web' checkbox is necessary for your website to appear in a browser.


• Selecting the 'Mail' checkbox will redirect email to the addresses specified on your domain. For example, if you create the domain alias 'domainalias.com' and your hosted domain is 'domain.com,' all email sent to you@domainalias.com will be sent to you@domain.com. You must have an email account set up for your hosted domain in order for mail to be redirected.
