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

1. Log In to Your Hosting Account: Sign in to the account where your website is hosted.
2. Access Domain Settings: Navigate to the domain settings section, often found under “Domain Management” or “DNS Settings.”
3. Add Alias (CNAME): Look for an option to add a CNAME record, which is used for aliasing domains.
4. Enter Alias Information:
5. Alias Name: Enter the alias domain name (e.g., DACAatty.com).
6. Points To: Enter the primary domain or the subdomain you want the alias to point to (e.g., your main website’s URL).
7. Save Changes: Save your settings. The changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate.
8. Update DNS Records: Ensure your DNS records are updated with the alias information. This might involve adding a CNAME record at your domain registrar.
