What is Domain Alias?
Domain aliases are domains owned by you but do not contain any content. Aliases enable you to point one or more domains to your primary domain. For example, if your primary domain is example.com, you could have domain aliases for example.org and example.net that point to example.com.
A domain alias is useful when you have additional domain names that you want people to be able to use to get to your website.
