26 Aug 10 How do I add Domain Aliases?

In order to point additional domain names to your website, follow the process mentioned below:

1. Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Web Hosting package and go to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>

2. Click the Modify Domain Aliases button on the lower toolbar.

3. Here, enter up to 5 additional domain names as aliases for your website, and click Modify Domain Aliases.
 

For each Domain Alias that you submit, you would need to point this alias domain name to your primary domain name (for which you have bought Web Hosting).

This can be accomplished by either one of these ways:

Option 1

On the existing Name Servers of the Domain Alias, create 2 Address Records (A Records) pointing to your primary domain name. The Address Records can be viewed by clicking the View Name Server Details button within the Order Details view page of the Web Hosting Order. Notice the first 2 Address Records and request your current DNS Service Provider to replicate them for your alias domain name.

Option 2

If your current DNS Service Provider does not allow you to create these records, then you can follow the process listed below -

  1. Purchase Managed DNS Service from Gossimer for the alias domain name.
     
  2. Search for the domain name for which you have purchased the Web Hosting package and go to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
     
  3. Click the View Name Server Details button.
     
  4. Modify the Name Servers of the alias domain name, as per the details provided here. Click here to find out how you can modify the Name Servers, if you have registered your Domain Name with Gossimer >>
     
  5. Replicate for your alias domain name, the first 2 Address Records listed here. Click here to read how >>
  6.  

 

Now, the website that you have created can be seen on all the domain names that you have set as aliases.

25 Aug 10 What is a Domain Alias?

 

Gossimer allows you to point multiple domain names to your Web Hosting package. This enables you to have your Website running on multiple domain names, without having to go to the trouble of setting up the site for each domain name.

Example 1

If you have bought Web Hosting for yourdomain.com and want to point yourdomain.net and yourdomain.info to the same website, then you may do so by mentioning yourdomain.net and yourdomain.info as aliases for yourdomain.com.

Example 2

If you have bought Web Hosting for yourdomain.com and want to point yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com to the same website, then you need to submit yourdomain1.com and yourdomain2.com as aliases for yourdomain.com.

You can add up to 5 Domain Aliases with each Web Hosting package that you purchase. However, note that DNS Services in your Web Hosting package are included only for the primary domain name, and not for Domain Aliases.
