In this blog, we are going to discuss Domain Aliases. Domain Aliases make your website available from another domain name. In other words, we can say that Aliases are domain names which you can own, but they do not have any contents, but you can use them for pointing to contents of another domain or subdomain on your account.
For example, if you have a domain name www.sarps.com then you can make aliases as www.sarps.org or www.saprs.net which will show the contents of www.sarps.com.
