***What is a domain alias?

Setting up a domain as an alias

For the Linux packages, you can always convert a domain into an alias (of the main domain) yourself in the client menu, under my domains and then properties. An alias can also be converted back to normal hosting there. Please note that all data of the alias domain, such as email and website, will be lost in the process.

Linux hosting

With Linux hosting you can include several domains in 1 hosting package (add the domain to the cart, choose change and then choose the package). We charge a small surcharge per domain. By default, such a domain then gets its own hosting section within the hosting package. However, it is also possible to have the domain added as an alias. See the general explanation of an alias below.
The DNS can also be changed separately for each alias. See: http://www.weboke.nl/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1426

What exactly is an alias?

Suppose you have a hosting package with domeinA.nl and you want a second domain name, domeinB.nl. You add the domain name to your cart, choose change and you can then choose which (existing) hosting package the domain should be added to.

If you go to www.domeinA.nl, that name stays in the address bar; if you go to www.domeinB.nl, that domain name stays in the address bar. So they both use the same hosting space.

If you have an email address test@domeinA.nl, everything addressed to test@domeinB.nl will be forwarded to it. All DNS records you create for domeinA.nl also apply to domeinB.nl. You can of course check yourself which URL is active and in this way still offer 2 different websites.

You will not see the alias domain in the control panel, and you cannot create separate email addresses or subdomains on it.
