The same site at another name.
WHAT IT DOES
Points an additional domain at your existing site.
Visitors to either see the same content.
WHEN TO USE ONE
A defensive registration of a similar name A .com and .com.ng pair An old name after a rebrand A common misspelling
HOW IT WORKS
cPanel adds the domain to your main site's configuration.
No separate directory.
THE SEO CONSIDERATION
Two domains serving identical content splits ranking signals.
Better: redirect the alias to your main domain permanently.
That keeps ranking consolidated and still catches visitors.
HOW TO REDIRECT IT
cPanel Redirects, or a rule in .htaccess.
Redirect to the equivalent page, not always the homepage.
FOR A REBRAND
Redirect every old URL to its new equivalent.
That preserves accumulated search value and keeps existing links working.
CERTIFICATES
Every alias needs SSL coverage. Run AutoSSL after adding one.
