How Does a Domain Alias Work?

If we set up ggexample.org as an alias of ggexample.com,a visitor going to ggexample.org would land on the ggexample.com site. The ggexample.com domain would remain in the browser address bar. Essentially,we are pointing multiple domains to the same location.

Step 2

In the “Domains” section, click the“Aliases” link or icon.

Step 3

In the “Create a New Alias” section, enter the alias domain name in the“Domain” field, then click the “Add Domain” button.
