What is an Alias Domain?
An alias domain, also called a parked domain, is a domain name that points to the same website as another domain, displaying identical content without its own separate directory.
How Does Alias Domain Work?
Alias domains are useful when a business owns multiple variations of its domain name and wants them all to lead to the same website. For example, a company might register both its .com and .net extensions as aliases so visitors reach the same site regardless of which domain they type into their browser.
Unlike addon domains, alias domains do not have their own separate file directories or unique content. They mirror the primary domain entirely. It is generally recommended to configure alias domains with proper redirects to avoid duplicate content issues with search engines, ensuring that one domain is treated as the canonical version.
