How To Create A Domain Alias In Plesk

A domain alias is where two or more domain names refer to the same website content in a hosting account.

Essentially a domain alias allows a website to become available from another domain name.

For example, ukhost4u.net could be a domain alias of ukhost4u.com, and they would both display the same content if a user searched for either URL in a web browser.

Domain aliases can be created in the Plesk control panel by following below steps –

  1. Login to Plesk with valid credentials
  2. Click the Websites & Domains section on Plesk Dashboard
Websites & Domains option in Plesk

3. Click the Add Domain Alias button.
