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 1: Log in to cPanel. Follow the link below for guidance.

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.
