In some cases, you need to use many different domains but just want these domains to run the same content together but don’t know how to do it. In this article, AZDIGI will guide you on how to create an Alias domain name on Cyber Panel to help you fulfill the above need.
What is an Alias domain?
1. Alias domain (also known as Parked Domain): can simply be understood as a domain name that is different from the main domain name, but it has the same structure and content as the main domain name.
You can see the following example, the main domain is azdigi.cf and the Alias domain to create is azdigi.gq. And when accessing the domain azdigi.gq, the displayed website content will be the same as the azdigi.cf domain name (ie, only displaying 1 unique content on both domains).
2. When to use the Alias domain name?
There are 2 cases where you should use Alias domain name:
- You want to run two or more domains for the same website.
- When you want to use a mail account with many different domains
How to create Alias domain
