A parked domain, pointed domain, or alias domain is an extra domain name that loads the same website as your main domain.
For example, you may want both of these to show the same website:
yourdomain.co.nz
and:
yourdomain.com
In modern cPanel, this is usually managed from Domains.
Use an alias domain when the extra domain should show the same website as your main domain.
Use an addon domain when the extra domain should have its own separate website.
Log in to cPanel through your WebhostingNZ client area.
If you are unsure how to access cPanel, please follow this guide first:
How to access cPanel from the Client Area
In cPanel, open Domains.
Older cPanel layouts may show a separate Aliases or Parked Domains icon.
Click Create A New Domain.
Enter the domain name you want to add.
For example:
yourdomain.com
To make it act as an alias, make sure it uses the same document root as your main website.
For example:
public_html
This means the alias domain will load the same website as your main domain.
Click Submit or Create.
The alias domain must point to the correct WebhostingNZ server before it will work.
If the domain is registered elsewhere, update the nameservers or DNS records with your domain registrar.
If you are unsure whether you need an alias domain or addon domain, please contact WebhostingNZ support and include the domain names involved.
